Possible Effects On Central Nervous System- based on studies, it appears that small amounts of Botulinum toxin can spread to other parts of the body, including the central nervous system. This is quite risky because Botulinum toxin is actually a neurotoxin. The toxin is encapsulated by the autophagy process into a structure called autophagosomes, which travel to the central nervous system. It takes about 3 or 4 hours for small amount of Botulinum toxin to reach the central nervous system after a facial injection.
Weakened Facial Muscles- if you don’t use your muscles, they will shrink and become weaker. This also happens to your facial muscles, which will be atrophied due to lack of use. The specialist will only inject Botulinum toxin in discrete locations and muscles in the surrounding area will be weaker.
Skin Discolouration- although not a common occurrence, some patients reported skin discoloration around the treated facial muscles. The discolouration may cause your forehead to have small ridges with valleys and hills. This long-term side effect can be prevented if the specialist continually changes the injection pattern. Smaller amounts of toxins must be administered and distributed in a more uniform way to obtain a more even result. Stopping the treatment may partially diminish the side effect. Other patients also reported the thinning of facial skin after prolonged Botulinum toxin treatment, especially in older people with naturally thinner skin.
