Strange Painful Tingling After Botox on Forehead

eusJun 22, 2009
After having Botox injected in my forehead, I have a strange painful sensation in my skin for one week following the injections. It's not bruised or feels like a bruise, but more like a nerve tingling when I run my fingers over my forehead. Sometime, I do note a "crackling " sound while the doctor is injecting my forehead. Could this be related?

Botox is non-permanent and so the substance will naturally dissipate within 3-6 months with the effects wearing off with it. Unfortunately, unlike with fillers there aren't any substances currently available which can dissolve the toxin.

Dear ABCox BOTOX is best from the eyes up. It can be used in the lower face but only with the utmost care. It is all too easy to get unwanted facial muscle paralysis. The face is one of the most important organs for emotional perception. There is evidence that the motor tone of the muscles...

Dear Hanhan I think you can tell that the doctors here at Realself are much more concerned about your health than if you can get away with having BOTOX. Can you have BOTOX safely--probably. Can you live with Bulimia, is a better question? Anorexia has a very high mortality rate but death...

Dear Kleo I am reluctant to send you back to the same doctor. Use your judgement regarding this. No one will be more motivated to help you than the original doctors. However, some practitioners are basically hopeless at problem solving. As Dr. Persky points out, this arched brow is from an...

The bunny lines are caused by only one set of muscles whereas there are many muscles that act on the lips. It is unlikely that you have suffered complete loss of movement due to the duplication of these muscles. The botox effect will dissipate and in all likelihood your muscles will return to...

Dear CJ There is absolutely no reason that you can't have BOTOX during your Perfector Non surgical face lift. For those who don't know, the Perfector Non Surgical Facelift claims facelift like effects with a completely comfortable microcurrent process performed by aestheticians. I must say...
