Botox is a biological toxin-based muscle relaxant. While effectively reducing prominent dynamic frown lines between the eyebrows, it may also cause certain side effects. What exactly are the side effects of Botox for frown lines? Let's explore them with Dongfanghong's editor.
Side effects of Botox for frown lines include:
① Unnatural facial expressions, photophobia, tearing.
② Localized swelling, bruising.③ Numbness at injection sites, headaches, tightness, and deepening of wrinkles in adjacent areas. ④ Ptosis (drooping eyelids), altered brow shape, and brow ptosis. These typically appear 7-10 days post-injection. Adrenaline-containing eye drops may be used as directed to help prevent noticeable temporary eyelid drooping caused by factors like allergies or bleeding.
The aforementioned side effects of botulinum toxin for glabellar lines are temporary and require no special treatment, typically resolving gradually within 2-4 weeks.
