Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

Botox contains botulinum toxin type A, human albumin and sodium chloride. It does not contain any heavy metal.

So use of Botox DOES NOT cause an increase in heavy metals in the blood stream.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,
Dr.Barani
