While sleeping, we might be contracting our Glabellar lines unbeknowst to us. Similar to grinding your teeth (bruxism) while sleeping. Glabella (frown) lines occur due to Glabellar muscles and they can be contracting while we are sleeping. Therefore, treating this area with Botulinum toxin such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin will help minimize this.

Recently there have reported reactions with Moderna COVID vaccine and those who have had fillers. There were total of 3 cases reported having swelling which was treated and resolved.
There are no reported reactions or side effects using Botox or any Botulinum Toxins such as Xeomin, Dysport or Jeuveau.
It is important to have all your procedures done by a physician for your own protection and follow up treatment if there are issues arising. Physicians are quick to respond to side effects to minimize any damage. Good Luck

Injecting Botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle has two benefits, aesthetically as well as medically.
By injecting botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), the muscle is weakened enough to stop involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. This significantly relaxes the muscle and reduces the wear and tear on the teeth due to grinding. Damage to the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) and headaches should be reduced or eliminated as well. Voluntary movements, such as chewing and facial expressions, are usually not effected at all by Botox, Dysport or Xeomin.
Effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin for Bruxism has shown to be very effective.
Although botulinum toxin injections are not a cure for bruxism, they can effectively control the uncomfortable symptoms better than a nightguard for some patients. Botulinum toxin used for treating bruxism typically lasts for three to six months.
Aesthetically, when Botulinun toxin is injected in the Masseter muscle, it weakens the muscle and decreases the bulginess appearance (wide jaw). This provides the aesthetically pleasing V-Shaped facial features.

Serious side effects have been reported including swelling and rash with Botox. But it is unlikely for the Botox injected one month ago to give you allergic reaction in the lips. It is important to have Botox procedure done at a medical clinic by a experienced Medical Doctor so it can be treated immediately. FDA has reported “Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft tissue edema, and dyspnea.
