How to know if agreed Botox units are all applied?
I got 50 units of Botox for the forehead, crows feet, and eyes: 10 each eye, 20 frown line, and 10 forehead. My face only has just lines; not wrinkles. I did not get good results this time. I saw the powder, but how can I know if there are really 50 units? She it diluted in 1 cc.
In my previous procedures, the injectors would dilute more and made up to 3 shots on each eye; but this time she just applied 2 and concentrated in an area. Which method makes Botox be more well-applied or evenly distributed?
My previous treatments showed results in 24 hours; this time I have waited 5 days to see some results. What happened?

I understand the diluted and application techniques, but how to know for sure that the agreed units are all applied. They can say there are 50 units in the vial, but we don't know for sure because sometimes it is already diluted or we don't know how to measure powder. I always see results in 24 hours in approximately 10 times I have done it, except this time.
