Mild bruising at the injection site is the most common side effect of Botox. This occurs due to the needle penetrating the skin, but it typically resolves within a few days.

Some patients may experience headaches post-treatment. While usually mild, they can last for a few hours to a couple of days. Over-the-counter pain relievers often help manage this.

In rare cases, Botox can cause temporary drooping of the eyelids or eyebrows if the toxin spreads to unintended areas. This side effect typically resolves on its own within a few weeks.

Botox can sometimes lead to a dry mouth due to its effects on the muscles around the injection area, especially when used to treat wrinkles near the mouth or jaw.

Some people report experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle aches, or chills, after their Botox treatment. These symptoms are generally mild and go away within a few days.

In very rare cases, Botox injections near the neck or throat can cause difficulty swallowing. This is more common when Botox is used for medical treatments rather than cosmetic purposes.

Botox works by temporarily paralyzing targeted muscles, but if it spreads to surrounding muscles, it can cause localized weakness. This effect usually wears off within a few days.

Although extremely rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to Botox, such as itching, rash, or shortness of breath. If you suspect an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
