Does Botox cause hair loss/thnning?

Hello - I was wondering if it is possible that Botox could cause hair loss? I have used Botox regularly for the last 7 years and in the last year noticed that my hair has been thinning. I have always had fine fragile hair and also just turned 40 - so I am not sure if this is age/hormonal related. I started taking Biotin and other supplements about 2 months ago which has helped reduce fallout but noticed after my last Botox treatment a few weeks ago (on my forehead) that my hair seemed to be thinning again. Just curious if there is any connection.

Hello It is very less likely for botox to cause hair loss. Infact botox has started to be used as a hair loss treatment. Give your diet an overhaul if you're lacking vital nutrients for growth and switch to foods for healthy hair. If it's related to an illness it can be reversed by effectively treating the underlying cause. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
