Asked By:Realself20152015 in Denver, CO

5 weeks ago I had 75 units injected in forehead..50 the first week and 25 the following week. I had an "active forehead" and was an out of town patient. Immediately following the procedure I experienced muscle spasms that disappears over he next day or so. Yesterday they returned. My question is this .. Is the Botox wearing off? Is the muscle finally giving up ? Is this normal? Thank you
