I’ve had Botox a handful of times over the last few years and this is the second time this has happened. The first time I was told it couldn’t be related to the Botox and allergy testing did confirm something else. However, I had Botox injected for crows feet, forehead lines and in the glabella earlier today and am experiencing the same symptoms in my eyes- puffiness, redness and they’re irritated and itchy. Nothing else changed today, no new face products or foods eaten. What is going on?!
Answer: Possible allergic reaction to Botox may be the solution used to dissolve the Botox powder There are a few possibilities.

Answer: Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Thank you for your question. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam where the entire medical history is reviewed.

Answer: Botox allergy? Thanks for your question. A true allergy to botox is possible but very rare. I would suspect that other products used in the procedure such as the sulfite preservative in the saline, latex gloves, or skin prep solution may be the source of the allergic reaction. Since this is the second time, I would consult an allergist to avoid worse reactions in the future. Once you have identified the issue, you should be able to make some minor changes that will allow you to continue using NT in the future. Also, you can consider other similar products such as dysport. Best of luck.
