Botox Safety Discussion

Well, Botox is in the media AGAIN. I wanted to comment on this most recent news that may have left some of you a little scared of Botox. Here are the facts on this new report ( I will include a link as well that gives details). The Botox deaths were cases of overdosing. These were mainly children being treated for muscle spasms associated with cerebral palsy and other problems. The only adult that had cosmetic treatment of Botox died of Pneumonia and that was 7 weeks after her treatment – probably unrelated. So, the bottom line is that the FDA has not made any changes on its cosmetic approval of the use of Botox and we will follow any safety updates recomended by the FDA.
