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: 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.

Answer: What Allergy to Botox can look like We had a couple patients in the past have a seemingly true allergic reaction to Botox, and one person to all three Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. They developed localized itchy, hive-like swellings around each injection site that resolved with ice and oral antihistamines. Both patients developed the reaction within ten minutes of injection while still at the office. Both patients had a history of previous Botox treatment, one patient for many years even. This implies that the patients needed to have had previous sensitization with a past treatment.
