“Botox for Forehead Lines and Migraines”

Not Worth It
Spent: $350 in California

For line down center of forehead and migraines. Have had up to 32 units injected. Seems to start working in the first 5-10 days then wears out within 2 weeks. It feels like my body is releasing it through my pores near the injection sites.

Does botox contain gluten? If yes, could it be ineffective on a person with gluten intolerance?

Based on the doctor's response to Does Botox or other injectables contain gluten, it appears Botox is gluten free

I completely concur with your feeling that the Botox "seems to be releasing through your pores." I have had 2 series of injections in-between my eyebrows and both times as it wore off I noticed what appeared to be whiteheads at the injection site(s). Within a week of seeing the whiteheads the Botox began to wear off. Unfortunately for me, each treatment only lasted 2 months each. I am keeping my finger crossed for "the 3rd times a charm" or I am going to have to find a alternative procedure.
