Botox injections for facial slimming are generally safe. This type of injection is a relatively well-established treatment that can slim the face in a short period of time. When performed correctly, it usually does not cause harm to the skin. However, if the injection site is inaccurate or the dosage is too high, it may lead to adverse effects such as facial stiffness.
