True allergic reactions to Botox are very rare. However, it’s possible to experience the following:
- Sensitivity to Ingredients: Some people might be sensitive to specific proteins or additives found in certain brands of Botox. This is why discussing your medical history is crucial.
- Typical Side Effects: Common side effects like minor bruising, swelling, or headache are often mistaken for allergies.
- Severe Reactions (Extremely Rare): In extremely rare cases, severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, etc.) could occur and require immediate medical attention.
Precautions to Minimize Risk:
- Choose a Skilled Injector: An experienced provider will screen for potential allergies and know how to address any side effects.
- Patch Testing: In rare cases, where allergy is a significant concern, your provider might consider a patch test.
Open communication with your AIVI Aesthetics provider in Agoura Hills is key to ensuring safe and effective Botox treatment.
