Botox cannot be injected into some lines around mouth on upper lip or into lower frown lines around chin. This is because botox injections can paralyze face for up to six months in these areas which are called perioral area. If a practictioner tells you that it is safe to inject botox into area above upper lip you are probably not dealing with a professional.

You should also be advised that people have died in past as a result of a fatal allergic reaction to a botox injection. If you are allergic to lidocaine then you are probably going to be allergic to botox.

Another concern you might have about botox injections might be cost. Most insurance companies do not cover costs associated with cosmetic surgery, so expenses come out of your pocket. Unfortunately it is tempting for many of us put our need to sip from eternal fountain of youth rather than take care of necessities. The effects of Botox injections are so impressive that many people find treatments addictive. For this reason if you have an addictive personality, botox injections are probably not for you.
