Neuromodulators such as Botox® and Dysport® have become cornerstones of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, providing effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement. When administered by a qualified and experienced professional, these treatments are extremely safe, with minimal risk of complications. However, understanding potential risks and side effects is essential for anyone considering treatment.

Common, Mild Side Effects

The most frequently reported side effects of neuromodulators are mild and temporary, including:

• Redness or swelling at the injection site
• Bruising, which usually resolves within a few days
• Tenderness or slight discomfort
• Mild headache in rare cases

These effects are generally short-lived and do not interfere with daily activities. Proper injection technique and post-treatment care help minimize discomfort for a smooth recovery.

Rare but More Significant Risks

Although uncommon, improper injection technique or incorrect dosing can lead to more noticeable complications, such as:

• Eyelid or brow drooping (ptosis)
• Facial asymmetry
• Temporary muscle weakness in adjacent areas

These issues are typically reversible and preventable when treatment is administered by a skilled injector who understands the subtleties of facial anatomy and neuromodulator dynamics.
