What are the risks of Botox treatment?

Botulinum toxin injections are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified and appropriately registered medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include mild swelling, redness or bruising at the injection site. Less commonly, individuals may experience temporary effects such as a drooping eyelid or mild headache. These effects are usually short-lived. To help minimise risks, it is important to choose a suitably qualified practitioner, such as a GMC-registered doctor, GDC-registered dentist or NMC-registered nurse prescriber, who is trained and experienced in performing injectable treatments.
