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?
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.
Do I Go to Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon or Neurologist?
Botox works very well for the treatment of many migraines, especially those that are triggered by muscle tension.
The most common areas treated are those in originating in the occipital, temporal, frontal and glabella regions.
I agree that insurance coverage is most easily achieved by visiting a Neurologist. However, interestingly, many neurologists in our part of the country refer these patients for treatment.
Most of the other disciplines you mentioned who perform Botox treatments can of course treat you as well. It really becomes more a matter of your insurance company covering the treatment.
Curious how it works when you get only say 10-20 units of botox, what happens to the rest of the product they did not use on you? Can it be reused with a new syringe/needle on another patient? How does this work and is it sterile to reuse the vials??
The Botox Cosmetic is intended to be used for multiple patients. We remove a certain number of units and therefore the Botox vial remains sterile and can be safely used until it is gone.
