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.

It's difficult to answer your question without having seen exactly what was done. I would say it would be unusual to put the Botox back into the saline vial, but perhaps that particular doctor has a different way of storing the Botox. You could just wait a week and see what sort of...
What you are describing is highly unlikely given that the nerves supply sensation and movement are different. If sensations/pain persist beyond 2-3 days you should see your physician immediately. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
Yes, it is ok to apply makeup on any bruises following Botox injections. We advise patients to avoid any rubbing of the area right after the injections take place. I would recommend following up with your provider regarding his or her specific guidelines. I hope this helps, and I wish you the...
