Can Botox Injections Leave Residue on Skin? Is This Risky?

Can Botox injections leave residue on skin, and can this be ingested accidentally (ie hands or showering)? How many units of Botox ingested are toxic?

A: BOTOX left-overs

BOTOX comes to your physician as a white powder. It is mixed with saline to create the liquid that makes so many people so happy! The protein itself is complexes with your muscles to relax them and is not left in or on the skin in a visible amount.

How Tight Should I Wear my Ponytail Once Receiving Botox in the Forehead? I Wear a Ponytail Daily.

I wear my hair pulled back and in a ponytail daily. I am interested in getting Botox in my forehead. My question is.. By pulling my hair back would the muscles in my forehead (freeze) or be paralyzed in place according to the tension or the tightness my ponytail style... or would it paralyzed the muscles in their natural place. How tight should I wear my ponytail once receiving the Botox? What happens to the muscles with a tight ponytail?? I hope I have asked the question clearly and correctly.

A: Pony-tails after BOTOX

Wearing your hair in a pony-tail may make you more beautiful. It will, thankfully, have no effect on your BOTOX treatments. Keep on BOTOXing!

Because 'If You Don't Use It You Lose It' is That True for Botox? You Paralyse Muscles...

because you paralyze muscles, doesn't it stand to reason that the muscles are going to atrophy because they are not being used? Just asking..

A: BOTOX and muscle atrophy: A VERY GOOD thing!

This is actually one of the goals of repeated BOTOX use. We want the muscles to lose their muscularity permanently. We are in effect putting a cast on the muscles we inject, allowing that cast to wear down a bit, then recasting it. This is why we recommend not letting your muscles become too active before your next session. We eventually are able to go longer between BOTOX sessions.
