Rest and avoid strenuous activity after each appointment to minimize toxins dislodging and traveling due to increased blood circulation. In addition, laser/IPL treatments, facials, and facial massage should be avoided for one to two weeks after injections or as directed by your licensed provider.
Safety and effectiveness of BOTOX have not been established for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis in pediatric patients under age 18.
Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help if you have any of these problems after treatment with Botox:
Vigorous treatment of any epithelial defect should be employed. This may require protective drops, ointment, therapeutic soft contact lenses, or closure of the eye by patching or other means.
Botox must be injected by a licensed provider and the effects generally wear off within 2 to 4 months. Side effects are rare, but strenuous activity should be avoided immediately after each appointment.
After the injections are given, patients should demonstrate their ability to void prior to leaving the clinic. The patient should be observed for at least 30 minutes post-injection and until a spontaneous void has occurred.
However, there appears to be little benefit obtainable from injecting more than 5 Units per site. Some tolerance may be found when BOTOX is used in treating blepharospasm if treatments are given any more frequently than every three months, and is rare to have the effect be permanent.
Avoiding injection near the levator palpebrae superioris may reduce the complication of ptosis. Avoiding medial lower lid injections, and thereby reducing diffusion into the inferior oblique, may reduce the complication of diplopia. Ecchymosis occurs easily in the soft eyelid tissues. This can be prevented by applying pressure at the injection sitio immediately after the injection.
Other common side effects experienced by those being treated with Botox for urinary incontinence are:

If patient’s body weight is greater than or equal to 34 kg, the recommended dosage is 200 Units of BOTOX per treatment administered as an intradetrusor injection after dilution: Reconstitute BOTOX to result in 20 Units BOTOX/mL in the vial(s):
Tell your health care provider if you are taking blood thinners or medicines that can interfere with the clotting of blood, such as aspirin or warfarin. These medicines might make it more likely that you will experience bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
Urinary retention: Post-void residual urine volume should be monitored in patients treated for OAB or adult detrusor sculptra overactivity associated with a neurologic condition who do not catheterize routinely, particularly patients with multiple sclerosis or diabetes mellitus. (5.13)
Reconstituted BOTOX (200 Units/30 mL) is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided.
