First time getting Botox and vein near my temple hurts when it’s cold out?

Asked By:periadoc in Brookline, MA

I just got Botox for the first time in my forehead today. Everything for the most part is fine, but there is a more prominent vein near my left temple that is painful when it is exposed to cold. It goes away when it’s warm. I think the doctor either punctured the vein or came close to it. Is this something to be concerned about or will it resolve in time?
