Too Cool For Midlife
Caution When Considering Botox
Midlife is when most of us start to really focus and concern ourselves with the aging process and turn to cosmetic treatments such as Botox. An estimated 11 million people worldwide have used Botox, making it one of the most common nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.
In this episode of Too Cool For Midlife, Dr. Summer Beattie shares a cautionary tale about what led her to discover that a commonly used aesthetic injection - botulinum toxin could cause a severe and debilitating condition that is rarely, if ever, discussed before offering this service - Iatrogenic Botulism Poisoning (or IBP).
Episode highlights include:
- Understanding the Black Box warning on Botox and other botulinum toxins
- Symptoms of Iatrogenic Botulism Poisoning
- What to do if you have experienced an injury after Botox injections
- Potentially adverse side effects to botulinum toxin use that are maybe not obvious
