Does Botox cause loss of hair?

In my experience, I have not come across any association between Botox and hair loss.  Thank you for your question.

No, Botox should not cause hair loss.  Hair loss can be caused by many different causes, often it is related to hormones as in male pattern baldness or stress as in Telogen effluvium.  Botox works at the neuromuscular junction. Botox is injected into the muscle over areas of interest to reduce muscle movement and the overlying wrinkles.  Hair follicles are more superficial than the muscle, residing in the subcutaneous fat between the skin and muscle. Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!
