Botox Too Strong. Muslces Fighting. Awful Headaches. How Long?

Just a few hrs after having botox for frown lines for 1st time it took effect. I was happy. A week later I'm really suffering as my muscles are fighting to frown, but can't as there's no movment at all. This is giving me a constant headache that pain killers don't help. Activites such as concentrating or squinting in light make the headache worse. I need this botox out by about 50% asap. I'm trying to relax but I can't bare it. How long will this last? I can't put up with this any longer.

A: Botox

The sensation usually lasts only days to a week in my experience.  If it persists over the counter analgesics may help the headaches and I would avoid future injections.  I hope this info helps.

Should I Be Concerned That Botox Could Cause Eyebrow Drooping?

I want to use botox injection to treat the very shallow horizontal forehead lines and the very deep frown lines between my eyebrows. I've heard that forehead lines injection run a bigger risk of eyelid drooping. Should I just treat the deep frown lines between my eyebrows to avoid eyelid drooping?

A: Botox

Forehead injections usually can effect eyebrow drooping more than eyelid drooping.  Injections higher on the forehead with less units can help wrinkles and minimize the drooping of the brow.  The lighter touch however may improve the wrinkles but not completely remove them.  I hope this info helps.
