What is botulinum toxin A? Is it absolutly save for facial wrinkles or is there a chance of dying after it?

This is Botox. Some people have a slight headache after treatment for several hours; it is safe to take paracetamol to relieve this. Very long lasting headaches have rarely been reported. A bruise at the site of injection is possible.


Injection into the palms can cause muscle weakness and result in temporary clumsiness.


The most common significant complication, which is rare, is ';ptosis';. This is a drooping of the eyelid caused by the botulinum toxin tracking into the eyelid muscle. It generally lasts just a few days, but more prolonged weakness is possible.
