Asked By:Keke1994 in Beverly Hills, CA

I loved my 3 previous masseter botox treatments. Last Wed October 25, I had my 1st forehead 8 units botox treatment. However, the linear bump starts to appear on the 2nd day and 6 days passed still remain the same size. From yesterday, there are some red spots appeared on my forehead and exactly where the needle points of injecting the botox. My clinic told me to wait at least 1.5 week for the result to show. I think these bumps and dots are not normal and I'm very worried. Please help!Thank you
