What Is Botox and Why Is It Risky?
Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin injections, which are widely used to reduce wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles. But the injections don’t just serve cosmetic purposes, they are also used medically to treat migraines, excessive sweating, overactive bladder, and more. Pain or swelling at the injection site, headaches or flu-like symptoms, droopy eyelids, are some examples of side effects of Botox. Even though it’s a popular procedure, medical experts warn that misuse can lead to severe consequences and in some cases, life-threatening conditions like botulism.
