So what are side effects of Botox? So there's a different video on complications that's different. A side effect means what kind of happens afterwards that would not be rated as a complication. Headaches. About 5% of people get headaches after Botox, which is interesting because Botox is FDA approved for treating migraine headaches. Some people get a dry mouth after Botox, and both those things are transient. Lasts a few days. Generally, there's not many side effects. Fight effects from Botox. Occasionally people get some muscle spasm afterwards around their eye, where the eye twitches a little bit. And all transient and very mild and occurs in less than 5% of people.
