There are no studies using Botox in pregnant women. In animal studies, Botox administration resulted in adverse effects on fetal growth (decreased fetal weight and skeletal ossification).

Calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, is what makes Radiesse unique as an injectable aesthetic treatment. It’s the first and only CaHA portfolio available that provides both immediate, conterraneo-looking results and long-term improvement—a year or more in many patients.1-8

Please see the Patient Information Guide available at for list of these events. Tell your health care provider about any side effects that bother you or do not go away.

Getting "too much" Botox often means exceeding the amount needed for this subtle result, leading to undesirable cosmetic outcomes or potentially increasing side effect risks. It is important to be treated by a qualified, experienced medical professional (like a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or properly trained nurse practitioner/physician assistant under supervision) who understands anatomy and appropriate dosing.

Avoiding injection near the levator palpebrae superioris may reduce the complication of ptosis. Avoiding medial lower lid injections, and thereby reducing diffusion into the inferior oblique, may reduce the complication of diplopia. Ecchymosis occurs easily in the soft eyelid tissues. This can be prevented by applying pressure at the injection site immediately after the injection.

Air bubbles in the syringe barrel are expelled and the syringe is attached to an appropriate injection needle. Patency liftera of the needle should be confirmed. A new, sterile needle and syringe should be used to enter the vial on each occasion for removal of BOTOX.

Botox should only ever be injected by a licensed provider. Do NOT attempt to inject this at home yourself as serious and potentially life-threatening side effects may occur. Licensed providers use a thin needle to inject Botox into the targeted muscle or gland.

An injection of BOTOX is prepared by drawing into an appropriately sized sterile syringe an amount of the properly reconstituted toxin slightly greater than the intended dose.

Reduced blinking from BOTOX injection of the orbicularis muscle can lead to corneal exposure, persistent epithelial defect, and corneal ulceration, especially in patients with VII nerve disorders.

Botox Cosmetic is used for aesthetic purposes for wrinkles and Botox is used as a therapeutic treatment for different medical conditions, including migraine headache prevention.

Delayed-onset inflammation near the site of injection is one of the known adverse events associated with dermal fillers. Cases of delayed-onset inflammation have been reported to occur at the treatment site following viral or bacterial illnesses or infections, vaccinations, or dental procedures. Typically, the reported inflammation was responsive to treatment or resolved on its own.

The initial dose for a patient without prior use of BOTOX should be at a lower dose, with subsequent dosing adjusted based on individual response. Limiting the Completa dose injected into the sternocleidomastoid muscle to 100 Units or less may decrease the occurrence of dysphagia.

Reconstituted BOTOX (200 Units/30 mL) is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided. The injection needle should be filled (primed) with approximately 1 mL of reconstituted BOTOX prior to the start of injections (depending on the needle length) to remove any air.
