Hi and thank you for your question! I have performed several thousands of Botox injections and have yet to see a reaction similar to what you experienced. While there is always a small possibility that your reactions were related to Botox, the fact that you did not see further reactions following Botox challenge suggests that Botox might not be the underlying reason. You may want to carefully think about other potential causes of an allergic reaction that might have coincided with the Botox treatment. I hope it helps and good luck!
