Facial enhancements using Botox, dermal fillers and other techniques are not a new trend. Many celebrities have been using these techniques to appear youthful or sculpt certain parts of their face. The goal might not be a drastic transformation but cosmetic enhancements. If at all you are up for such treatments, it is always advisable to undertake these treatments under experienced personnel. But before you decide, make sure to be updated about the many risks that come with such facial enhancement techniques.
Here’s a list of side effects to look out for-
Recommended Stories
Headaches
Headaches are a prevalent Botox or dermal filler side effect. This could be because the medicine produces muscle spasms at first, although the exact cause is uncertain. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest will help you get over a headache after Botox treatments.
Dry Skin
Some people notice dry, flaking skin around the Botox injection sites. This can happen because the treatments might reduce your body’s ability to sweat. This might leave the skin feeling drier, flakier. You can help relieve dry skin by applying moisturiser on a regular basis. Avoid moisturisers with scents or dyes, as they may  aggravate dry skin.
Spreading of toxins
Although uncommon, Botox can spread beyond the places where it is injected, causing major issues. This risk increases if Botox is injected into areas of the body that are not recommended. As per experts, the botox treatment is only approved for use on the face.
Difficulty Swallowing or Breathing
These injections can affect the muscles that control swallowing and breathing in the mouth, throat, and neck. This is especially problematic for persons who already struggle with swallowing or breathing.
Eyesight issues
Botox can target the muscles near your eyelids.. This might lead to dry eyes and  discomfort. The treatments can also impair the muscles that control eye movements, resulting in difficulties including double vision and difficulty judging distance. If this condition comes up, contact an eye professional.
Uneven face structure
When these injections are not administered uniformly or in the proper spot, they can induce facial asymmetry, making one side of the face appear different than the other. This can be especially noticeable on the brows and lips.
