At times muscle spasms are due to remaining function in the muscle which could be corrected by injecting more botox to completely paralize the muscles. You may consider seeing your doctor for evaluation.
Muscle spasms after Botox between brows
I am 42 and had Botox injections 6 weeks ago to address the beginnings of "11" lines between my brows. The doctor injected 18 points in the areas from about mid-brow line on each side to a point just above the bridge of my nose, basically in a triangular pattern. About 2 weeks ago, I began to have involuntary muscle spasms just above either brow. If I rub my forehead, it will contract on its own too. Is the Botox wearing off this soon or does the doctor need to inject more areas? Is it possible to dilute the Botox in a manner that affects the longevity of the results?

A: Be cautious in avoiding overcorrection of Botox
Yes it is possible to dilute the Botox to the point of no effect. However, it is also not realistic to achieve complete paralysis of the muscles. If this is your goal, you will risk causing eyelid drooping due to overcorrection. However, 6 weeks is too early for the Botox to be wearing off. Discuss your goals... more

I had the same problem about six weeks after Botox and it scared the heck out of me. I thought I was having a stoke. I called my doctor, but she has not returned my call, so I guess she thinks it is no "big deal"
