Who can get a Botox injection?

Botox injections can be injected in almost anyone, although I think there are a couple of important criteria. First of all, teenagers or young children should certainly not have Botox for a cosmetic purpose. If Botox treatment is being done for a medical condition, that's one thing. For example, I do have certain teenage patients that have excessive sweating from diabetes, and those are patients who may have Botox injections. In general, children and teenagers should not have Botox injections. The other people that should not have Botox are any people who are pregnant.
