Can Botox Injections Cause Hair Loss?

This question, from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgeon Dr. William Lindsey: 

I’m interested in receiving [tag]Botox[/tag] injections in my forehead, but I’ve heard this may cause [tag]hair loss[/tag]. Is this true? Can [tag]Botox injections[/tag] cause hair loss?

Having treated roughly 1,000 people with Botox over the last 18 years as a facial plastic surgeon and hair transplant specialist, I state that I have never seen Botox grow OR kill one single hair. If Botox truly had an effect on hair growth or hair loss, it would likely be apparent by now. Because of this, one can comfortably state that Botox does not cause hair loss.
