Is Botox safe, and are there potential side effects?

Botox has a well-established safety profile when administered by a qualified medical professional. The FDA has approved Botox for various cosmetic and medical uses, demonstrating its safety and efficacy after rigorous evaluation. At AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills, we prioritize patient safety and education.

Here’s what you should know about the safety of Botox:

  • Common Side Effects: Most side effects are mild and temporary. These may include minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, and sometimes a slight headache.
  • Rarer Side Effects: In rare cases, Botox can spread to nearby muscles, causing temporary effects like eyelid drooping or an uneven smile. These usually resolve within a few weeks.
  • Choosing a Qualified Injector: The skill of your Botox injector in Agoura Hills is crucial in minimizing the risk of side effects and achieving optimal results.
  • Contraindications: Botox may not be suitable for everyone. Let your AIVI Aesthetics provider know if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions.

Botox is widely considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by an experienced professional. Open communication with your provider ensures the best possible experience.
