Answer: Reaction after Botox Hi thank you for your question. Allergic reactions to botulinum toxin are rare but can happen. To be certain what you were allergic to would best be done with an allergy expert (immunologist). There are different preparations of the toxin (Botox is the best known) but poor sterile preparation by the practitioner, dilutant and even the gloves they were wearing (for instance latex) might set off an allergic reaction. One cannot be sure on this site what was responsible in your case.

Answer: Botox Since there is no reversal agent for botox, you would have to wait out 3 mths or so until it resolve. All the best, Dr. Thuy Doan
