Botox allergy - who is at risk?

Hi @little.mermaid.xo! This is an excellent question. Having a Botox allergy is rare. I would recommend doing a patch test to see if you react. Since you've had Botox in the past without any complications, you should be fine. Best of luck to you!

Hello and thank you for your question.Botox allergy is extremely rare. With your history an option would-be to have a patch test to see but it would be unlikely that you are allergic to botulinum toxin. Please always seek treatment from a trained medical professional for any cosmetic treatment. Best wishes

Hi there! An allergy to Botox has been reported but is very uncommon. There is discussion that those with severe egg or cow milk allergies should avoid Botox and Dysport. If you've had sensitivity to certain chemicals in the past, it is possible that you could react to Botox. The reaction tends to be localized, but it's not to say it can't be systemic. If you've had Botox in the past, it's likely you'll do fine. Your injector may suggest a small, test injection at one site to observe for any reaction. Hope this helps you!
