I have had Botox 5 times, last time I had Botox I panicked. The only symptoms have been a slight headache. I work about injecting unknown chemicals near my brain.
Answer: Allergies to Botox Even though Botox is used to treat migraine headaches a small subset of patients do develop headaches after treatment with Botox. This is not an allergy. Allergic reactions to Botox present as a rash or hive type appearance and occur shortly after injection. The likelihood of having an allergic reaction if you have already had Botox before makes it even more rare. Some people do have allergies to the preservatives in the saline which is used to dilute the Botox.

Answer: No need to panic about Botox reaching your brain Botox injections around the surface of your face or body will not reach your brain. So, no need to worry about any potential central nervous system (brain) issues. Thanks for sharing your concerns. Best wishes.

Answer: Allergies to Botox Allergic reactions to Botox are rare, and they would usually show up within 24-48 hours of the injection. It is unfortunate that Botox injections cause headaches for you. This is a relatively uncommon side effect, but it is usually only temporary. Less than 1% of patients may develop severe, life-altering headaches that can persist for 2-4 weeks. The cause of these headaches is unknown. The headaches are not caused by Botox entering the brain. Botox injected locally to the face does not travel through the skull and into the brain. I recommend that you discuss your concerns about Botox injections with your board-certified facial plastic surgeon, who can provide you with further details about the safety of Botox.

Answer: Botox and allergy Cosmetic Botox injections do not affect the brain. The medication does not travel outside a dime sized area of skin. Allergies either look like hives, which appear immediately, or like eczema, which can take a week to appear. Headaches are not a sign of allergy.
