Botox Precautions

Mostly, Botox injections are administered within 20 minutes and those opting for the procedure can resume normal activities immediately. However, depending on the doctor’s discretion you might be advised to avoid sunlight for some time.

As Botox is effective only when applied in the proper locations and can cause health complications if applied elsewhere, it is better to approach an experienced practitioner for a Botox injection. The right dosage is also essential to ensure that the wrinkles are reduced without causing any harm to you.

Who should avoid Botox treatments?

Breastfeeding and pregnant women are not recommended these treatments as they might harm the mother or the baby. People allergic to ingredients in Botox products, those suffering from skin infections at the injection site, from muscular disorders and breathing problems like asthma and emphysema as well as people with dropping eyelids should avoid this procedure.

Then, Botox is not recommended to those with bleeding and clotting problems, to people suffering from weakness in the forehead muscles, from swallowing problems or to those planning to have surgery or who recently had surgery on their face.
