While Botox is a very effective treatment for various disorders, it is also a drug that has side effects. The effects can range from mild to serious. It is important to discuss the side effects with your doctor before starting the procedure.

Negative effects of botox can cause an allergic reaction, and may be life-threatening. If you are pregnant or have a history of allergic reactions, you should not use Botox.

Some of the more common side effects of Botox include headache, blurred vision, and pain. These are generally reversible. However, some patients have reported more serious adverse effects, such as difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, and blurred vision.

Side effects can happen within a few days or weeks after getting Botox. This is especially true if the doses are too high or if the injections are not done by a trained professional.
