New Jersey BOTOX® Treatment Info

Are there BOTOX® treatment side effects? That’s the question buzzing at BOTOX® Cosmetic parties all around the world and the answer is that if there are side effects they are rare and rather minor in degree.

Botulism Toxin Type A, the fancy scientific name for BOTOX®  Cosmetic, has in the last 20 some years been put through the rigors of more than 200 studies and no consistent adverse complication has been found as a result of BOTOX® injections. What evidence there is about the side effects of New Jersey BOTOX® treatments may be more anecdotal in nature. Some people have reported symptoms of nausea, headache, and even the mild effects of influenza. These BOTOX® treatment side effects usually start within the first week of the injection and taper off soon after. But as Dr. Peter Misra, a noted British neurophysiologist reports, the “systematic side effects” of a New Jersey BOTOX® injection “are rare,” and after 11 years and 1 million patients it seems unlikely there are any long-term side efects of BOTOX® injection.

It is always important, of course, with any dermatological procedure that you undertake that you have an experienced board-certified dermatologist working with you. They can help discuss the side effects of BOTOX® treatment with you more in-depth and let you make an educated decision before deciding on such a procedure.
