Is Botox safe?
The short answer is yes. When Botox® Cosmetic is administered by a licensed and experienced professional like Dr. Desman, using Botox to decrease the appearance of wrinkles is a safe procedure.
While Botox injections appear to be simple on the surface, the administration actually takes quite a bit of skill and knowledge of the facial muscles to get it right and produce a natural look. It is possible for side effects like drooping or a “frozen” look to occur if the drug is injected in the wrong place or improperly.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), of which Dr. Desman is a member, over 4.6 million Botox procedures were performed in 2007. Botox is by far the most requested and performed cosmetic procedure in the United States today and has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002. Since 1989, it’s also been used or other non-cosmetic medical treatments and found to be safe.
