Is Botox Bad in Long Term?

There are no long-term risks that have been associated with Botox. When performed properly by a skilled physician, Botox injections are safe and can yield fantastic results for the patient. When considering Botox treatment, I would recommend choosing a physician who is experienced and knows the do's and don'ts of Botox. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!

Botox underwent extensive testing to achieve fda clearance. It is extremely safe. Long term side effects are not found. Even before its fda clearance for cosmetic use, botox was used for years treating eye muscle spasm and esophageal spasm. So use Botox with confidence!

Cosmetic Botox use long-term hasn't been proven unsafe. "Bad" meaning could you suffer any negative long term systemic issues? As we age, our muscles change and they will with continued use (in the face for cosmetic purposes) - altering the amount of units will likely be necessary.

The typical amount of Botox that is used for cosmetic purposes is very small and the effects are temporary, so I would say that it is safe to use in the long term.  

Botox has been used safely for over 25 years for both medical and cosmetic treatment.  If you are considering Botox treatment, please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for the best possible results.

Botox was actually the first neurotoxin  to be FDA approved and is actually one of the most used injectables for anti aging. Over long term use the muscles being injected with Botox will weaken slightly, which for most is the desired effect. However, this is not permanent and once a client stops getting Botox injections the muscles will eventually return to their normal state due to being used again. Think of this as being a muscle that has grown smaller due to not being worked out anymore; once you start working the muscle again, it will start to get bigger again. “Dr. D”

Botox is one of the most used and researched cosmetic drugs on the market, and has been proved safe through thousands of extensive clinical trials. As of this time, there is no evidence that Botox is risky long-term. 

Botox is broken -down by body enzymes, that is why it's effect last up to 6 months& any side effect would disappear maximum within that period.

 

Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) have been globally used for decades with a consistent track record of safety. The side effects are temporary and usually related to the skill of your injector. While repeatedly using neuromodulators in the same muscles can cause atrophy of the muscle, this can be used to your advantage because it means you will need fewer units to get the same effect.

Botox has now been used over a variety of medical and cosmetic indications for over 20 years, in millions of people, worldwide. In trained and experienced hands, it is a very safe short and long-term procedure.
