Botox Treatments at Alan Rene

Are there any side-effects?

No serious side effects have ever been reported, when using Botox for cosmetic treatments. Minor side effects occur in a small number of patients and are always fully reversible within a few days to a few weeks. Immediately after the injection there may be mild swelling and redness which subsides within a few days.

Bruising at the injection site may occur, this can be covered with makeup if needed. Rarely, a temporary drooping of the eye lid may occur, this resolves within a few weeks. Very rarely following repeated injections the patient may develop antibodies to Botox. This makes subsequent treatments ineffective.
