The immediate side effects of the injections may be flu-like symptoms accompanied by nausea and headaches. When you're younger, receiving mini-doses of Botox (also known as Botox for babies) can have a preventive effect, as it prevents wrinkles from developing as quickly or intensely. This isn't common, but Wexler says that patients who start using Botox too soon, such as when they're in their early 20s, may be at risk of this side effect. Peptides are amino acids that can help fight inflammation, but they may come at a higher price than others equally effective ingredients.
This means that if you like the way you look (or feel, if you receive them as part of treatment for a medical condition), you'll have to get more shots again if you want to keep the effect. Over time, you may notice some changes compared to when you started applying them, but all of these effects are reversible if you stop giving yourself the injections. As for the cost, there's not much difference, but you'll experience fewer side effects and the recovery time will be minimal. These side effects should be consulted immediately with a doctor, as they can lead to permanent vision loss and eye problems.
The immediate effects are well known, but what isn't often talked about are the long-term effects of Botox.
