Is Botox Cosmetic Safe? What are the risks?
Botox Cosmetic (which differs from "Botox") was granted FDA approval for cosmetic purposes in 2002. In that time, more then 11 million men and women have received Botox Cosmetic treatments. It is largely considered a safe and effective treatment. With that said, side effects and risks are something that anyone getting the treatment needs to take into consideration. Possible post-treatment side effects include, but are not limited to: bruising at the site of the injection, the rare chance of an infection, and the possibility of unintentionally affecting nearby muscle groups.
