Why is my Forehead Region Still So Mobile After Botox Injection Post 9 Days?

I had my first injection of Botox 9 days ago. Unfortunately I do not remember how many units were injected. He also did a few more injections along the top of my eyebrow, but none for crow's feet. I'm 52 but the glabellar lines are really my only lines at this point. Anyhow, at 9 days I think the lines may possibly appear a little flatter, but with my forehead completely relaxed they are definitely still there, and if I frown or squint my brow folds up just like it always has. Is this normal?

A: Botox Typically Takes 7-10 days to start working, up to 14 days.

While 9 days is on the longer end of how long it takes to start seeing the effects of Botox, it can take up to 14 days. I would recommend hanging in there for another few days.

If however, there is movement after this time, I recommedn vsiting your Doctor and having it re-evaluated as you may need a "touchup."

If the Botox is working elsewhere on your forehead, my guess is that it will begin to work in the next several days.

How Widespread is Bruising After a Dysport Injection?

Does it just bruise around the injection site, like an IV, or will it be more significant? 　

A: Minimal to no bruising with Dysport Injections

Bruising with neurotoxins, including Dysport, is infrequent. If bruising does occur it is usually very minor and very localized (pinpoint) lasting just a few days. Very rarely, a larger bruise can occur if a small blood vessel is injured.
