The cosmetic treatment known as Botox Injection has, over the last few years, has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments available.

The common side effects of Botox include nausea, flu syndrome, respiratory infection, forehead and eyelid drooping, and headache. Less common Botox risks include symptoms that are generally associated with the injection. These include redness, pain, swelling, numbness, bruising, muscle weakness and bleeding.
