How Long Do Botox Toxins Stay in Your Body?

September 3, 2008
Asked By:bettyfromtheblock in Brooklyn

I've had botox injections for the last two years. I had a particularly strong injection last February that froze my forehead for 6 months, and I have not had any since then, and will probably never get it again. My question is: is there any botox still in my body? It has been 10 months now--is my body clear of the toxin?
