For the first time, I had Botox injections in my forehead area 9 weeks ago & a little top up at my follow up appointment 7 weeks ago & no side effects. The past few days I getting a tingling sensations in my forehead but mainly glabellar line area as I had a deep frown line. Down from that deep frown line on the side of my nose (top of nose wing) is tingling also. There are no marks, swelling or redness.

Botox is fabulous for the wrinkles that you described. I always recommend that my patients do not exercise for 24 hours after the procedure and remain upright for at least 4 hours after the procedure. Any negative side effects will dissipate in a few weeks to 3 months. Please keep us posted.
