Botox cosmetic can’t be used if there is an infection at the proposed injection site(s) or in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation (the milk protein Casein). Also, patients with neuromuscular disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis and Eaton Lambert Syndrome may be at increased risk of clinically significant systemic effects from typical doses of Botox Cosmetic. The most common side effects are headache, respiratory infection, flu-like syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. Less frequently occurring (<3 per cent) side effects include facial pain, injection site redness, and muscle weakness. These events are thought to be associated with the Botox cosmetic injection and occurred within the first week.
