The question of safety may arise when considering a toxin injection. 

“The dose in a single vial of Botox is orders of magnitude lower than what could be lethal to humans.”

Moreover, the administration is carefully performed in the correct tissue plane either under the skin or intramuscularly to control the spread of the drug. Therefore, when administered by trained physicians with expertise in facial anatomy and Botox injections, the procedure is safe with minimal side effects. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes in specific areas of the upper face, such as the forehead, eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow's feet). Unfortunately, media reports often highlight the alarming outcomes resulting from injections by unqualified practitioners.
