Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport should not be injected into any area without thoroughly understanding the underlying muscle structure. For example, injecting neurotoxins directly under the eyes can impair eyelid function, leading to drooping. At the same time, treatment in the lower forehead without considering eyebrow position may result in an unnatural appearance. Additionally, injections close to the mouth corners might affect the ability to smile or speak clearly.
It’s important to note that neurotoxins rarely have any serious medical side-effects when injected. The most serious side effects are typically asymmetry or an unnatural appearance, which will fade.
To avoid unwanted side effects, the best option is to steer clear of unauthorized or non-medical injection settings. Look for injectors with current medical licenses and positive client reviews, like those at EstrogenicA. Trusting a professional with knowledge of proper Botox injection sites ensures safety and effectiveness.
