Blowtox is a procedure where a small amount of Botox (a botulinum toxin) is injected into the scalp around the hairline to reduce excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis.
Botox works by blocking the signals that trigger the sweat glands to produce sweat, thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced in the treated area.
Side effects
The side effects of Botox hairline injection can vary depending on the individual, the amount of Botox injected, and the specific area of the scalp being treated. Some common side effects of Botox injections include:
Serious side effects are rare but can include difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, or an allergic reaction. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms after receiving a Botox injection.
It is also important to note that the effects of Botox are not permanent and typically last for several months. Repeat injections may be necessary to maintain the desired effect.
If you are considering Botox hairline injection or any other medical procedure, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a qualified healthcare professional.
