Asked By:A11 in New York, NY

I have done a Botox treatment in my forehead and cheeks and I heard the effect should be completely gone by 6 months, now it's been 8 months , the effect has reduced but I can't use those muscles as before as the Botox impact is still powerful, is this normal? What should I do?
