What are the dangers of using Botox?


Listen Later

Botox is the name of a brand that offers a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a toxin into the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. The poison that they use, botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that instruct the muscles to contract so make the appearance of fine lines, like crows feet or frown marks appear smoother.

It can also be used in some medical procedures that involve involuntary muscle movement, spasm, sweating or to help migraine. A cosmetic treatment costs between £100 to £350 and lasts for three to four months. But it does have some side effects and complications that people should be aware of before undergoing the procedure.

What are some of the side effects? How can I protect myself from the dangers of Botox? What are some safer and more natural alternatives to Botox? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
