Since 2006, Botox has been the most commonly used cosmetic treatment in the United States. Botox is used for both cosmetic and medical use- but Botox injections are not as safe as you might think. Just recently, a man received $212 million after a Botox treatment left him with permanent brain damage. The verdict is believed to be the single largest jury verdict in a claim involving the side effects of Botox. Another woman received $15 million after Botox left her partially paralyzed. Another family has reached a settlement with Allergen, after their mother died after taking Botox injections.

Botox is used to treat blepharospasm (spasm of the eyelids), cervical dystonia (severe neck muscle spasms), and severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excess sweating). According to a study published in the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology (September 2005), between 1989 and 2003, medical use of Botox caused 28 deaths (see wrongful death). In the words of one doctor, “The public just needs to know more about the risks than they do now. They know about the benefits.”
