Can botox cause hair loss?

Question

I got Botox injections on my forehead a few weeks ago for wrinkles. Since then, I've noticed my hair falling out more than usual. Could the Botox be causing this hair loss?

I can't speak on the medical side, but I got forehead botox last year and honestly didn't notice any extra hair fall. My hair stayed exactly the same as before. If you are really worried, it might be better to ask a doctor about your scalp health.

I totally panicked when I saw some hair in my brush a week after my botox session, and I immediately thought it was the injection. But my doctor reassured me it was just my normal seasonal shedding cycle. Don't worry, it doesn't cause hair loss!

My daughter wanted botox for her frown lines but was very worried about her hair thinning because she already has fine hair. We went together to a good dermatologist who explained very clearly that botox stays only where it is injected and does not affect hair roots at all.

Bro, my cousin got botox for her forehead and she literally had no hair issues at all. In fact, some people actually get botox on their scalp to control sweat which indirectly helps hair, so i dont think it causes hair fall.

Don't believe random threads on Instagram or Google search results claiming it causes baldness. Hair loss can be due to stress, diet, or hormones. Just book an appointment with a real trichologist or dermatologist and verify it directly.
