7 Weeks Post Botox and Experiencing Numbness and Tingling?

When we inject, we have estimations of which depth we are going. Generally we inject Botox in muscles just beneath the skin but various methods are adopted by various doctors. I think that numbness & tingling after Botox injection may occur in any patient due to some unknown reasons. Generally these should go away soon, but time duration is variable from patient to patient. It is always good to go back to your injector & discuss your problem in details for proper assessment & better management.

Headaches following Botox injections are rare but do occur – and they can last for several months post injection. No one is actually sure of the etiology of these headaches but they will fade with time. I would recommend regular ice packs and muscle movement – as best you can – to stimulate the nerves in that area faster than one might normally do. Then once the affect is over, make sure that the next injection is done with a 30 gauge needle or smaller – and make sure the injector does not "jab" into the bone before injecting.
