Assuming you had Botox in the face for cosmetic purposes, there is no reason to relate systemic effects such as tingling in the hands and feet to the procedure. Although there have been reports of systemic symptoms, these are related to very high doses for medical therapeutic applications in non-facial areas.
This is not a typical side effect of treatment with Botox and can be due to another issue. I would recommend following up with a board certified physician and addressing your concerns. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
Botox injections have been reported to have some rare systemic side effects, but usually not in cosmetic dosages. I would immediately contact your treating physician and consult a neurologist to evaluate your symptoms. Please let me know what happens.
Botox should never directly cause tingling in the hands and feet. On the other hand, anxiety and/or panic attacks can cause transient tingling in the hands and feet and it would not be unusual to have a little increase anxiety after a cosmetic treatment. Rarely tingling in hands and feet can be metabolic or from a neurologic injury in the peripheral nerves (not the cranial nerves of the face treated with Botox). I would recommend that if your symptoms persist, or recur your see a physician in person for a thorough history and exam.
