As with any cosmetic treatment, there is a risk of a Botox treatment going wrong even when it is carried out correctly and with care. Not necessarily because the treatments are dangerous in any way, in fact, the majority are deemed fairly safe if carried out correctly and by a properly trained professional, but more due to the fact that these types of treatments, in particular Botox, are becoming more common among both women and men. One of the main reasons people obtain Botox injections is to combat the signs of aging by reducing the effects of fine lines and wrinkles and tightening the skin.
Injuries resulting from negligence in administering Botox injections can range from minor to life-threatening. They can even lead to fatalities. It is critical for you to choose a treating practitioner or physician with great care. Generally, Botox injections are carried out without incident. However, the absence of regulations and oversight for some technicians means that the risk of negligence leading to injury can be heightened.
If you undergo a Botox injection and begin experiencing any pain or side-effects as a result, please remember to document your injuries and symptoms.
