4 yrs ago I went back for 20 unit of Botox on my forehead 3 months after I had my very 1st treatment with Botox. Ist time the results were a dream, 2nd time I developed hives across my forehead then they moved down my body and my ears were burning for weeks. Same nurse, same dosage used only diff the second time I went for a jog 2 hrs after. I would like to know if I can try another brand? Has it happened before? Would love to try another brand, however my injector will not. What do I do?
I had Botox for two and a half years just 10 units a pop, every 3-4 months. Five minutes after my last injection I had hives at the sites and very itchy, I also was felt sense of panic maybe due to hives. They were confirmed hives. I am now at a crossroads, I am hesitate to do allergy or testing or use stopper or Cronin because of immediate IGe response with the last injection. Is thermirase my next best option for brow & angry 11s? Is there any newer options I am unaware of too? Many thanks
After my 8th time of Botox, immediately intense itching and welt, at 2 our of 3 injection sites. Itching went away after 20 minutes and welt after several hours. This never happened before. Largest hive/welt was at the site which got the most Botox. Went for second opinion and new doc says not to worry and just do it again, originally she seemed unsure. I only received 10 units total. There are unfortunately reports of anaphaytic at cosmetic dose, is it too risky to try again?
I received Botox 3 weeks ago and My Doctor did a touch up after 17 days. I had hives and rashes immediately on areas that she injected Botox for touch up. aI am taking corticosteroids and antihistamines since that day. Do you have any opinion why should this has happened to me? And how could she prevent it/ Is it her fault or so? I am so upset and everyday I blame myself for this. Many Thanks MITA

I hve received botox before this first reaction in January & didn't hve this problem. Been going to same office for every treatment. Help!! I don't want to give up Botox!! Lol
Have had botox eyes and forehead for 9 yrs. Last botox July 2015. On 12/8/15 hives appeared and have continued to this date. Under control (pop 2 or 3 on scalp under hair every day) since prescribed Allegra 180 mg BID and levocetirizine 5 mg at night. Photos show that hives were severe in my opinion. Is it safe to introduce the foreign protein of botox? I do not like the lines I am seeing. Is there a topical wrinkle relaxer on the horizon?
I had Botox last week and yesterday I had an allergic reaction to something and my under my eyes started swelling, I broke out in hives and got two shots from my doctor but under my eye looks like a water pocket. Could that be from the Botox? I have had it done for over a year so I'm wondering if it might be something else? Please help.
How long does it take for botox to leave the system ? My Dr. has put me on a 10 day prednisone treatment does help but can't work out or get hot in any way or hives explode while I'm sleeping usually around 2-4 am I had Prolotherpy and Botox done in same day could have this been a reaction ? also i have had botox for around 6 years but did change doctors for last 3 times but kinda had some skin issues from last one but didn't connect it. Was almost like i have flea bites but It wasn't of course.
I have sensitive skin and am allergic to some perfumes and dyes but this is the first time that this has happened with Botox. I can't think of anything else that I changed during the time period; food changes or clothing, etc. I also had a terrible headache this time as well with the shots. Can this happen?
