Is it normal two weeks after a Botox treatment to develop pain at the injection site? (photo)

I had A Botox treatment with my neurologist two weeks ago now to help with migraines. The spot right between my eyebrows has been numb and I understand that is normal but the last two days it’s been really sore even the most gentle touch is so painful. Is this normal two weeks afterwards or do I need to get it checked out?

No, it is unlikely that Medicaid will cover Botox. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

I recommend following up with your injector about after care following your Botox treatment. It should be fine to apply cosmetics and wash your hair/face after your treatment. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

It is unlikely that Botox is causing this. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months and at this point would be out of your system. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi and thank you for your question! I don't think that the sound of injection or the feeling following the procedure can be an accurate indicator of the proper treatment. Also please keep in mind that being worried too much about the procedure might also have a negative effect on the headaches ...

Drooping eyelids can be improved with a combination of iopidine drops, venus legacy, and thermage treatments. Botox results will resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer
