risk and side effects of botox

Hi Minkcalvin, you are right ! Botox can have several side effects. Most commonly, we see pitted deep scars at the site of injections, due to the toxin. Dr H A Khawaja, our plastic surgeon, published an article along-with Enrique Hernandez-Perez, MD, highlighting various side effects of Botox and the proper usage and dilution techniques. Botox In Dermatology: International Journal of Dermatology, 01 May 2001, 40(5):311-317. Mostly, we use a Permanent Lines Filler, which is a solid filler and has no known side effects, apart from infection and extrusion, which are treatable. Results are permanent and lasts for upto 15-20 years. It is an excellent replacement of Botox. We have been using this filler for smile lines, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, lower smile lines, neck lines etc with excellent results. With proper aseptic technique and antibiotic use, infection does not take place. Results are immediate and permanent, and unlike botox, it is carried out only once.
