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

klawson1284Jun 5, 2018
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?

Botox and Xeomin are both indicated for Torticollis. I would suggest seeing a neurologist who should be able to write a prior authorization for treatment. Since  this is a medical necessity I would expect it to be covered under your insurance plan. It is important that you are treated...

At one day post treatment it is fine to shower normally as well as put on cosmetics. Do not put heavy pressure or vigorously massage the treated areas. Regular exercise routines can resume the day after injections as well. Contact your provider for more information.

Hi and thank you for your question. The muscles return to their normal function, once the botox has gone away. Thank you and best of luck!
