I have had long standing synkinesis. The most troubling is that when I blink, my DAO, DLI, Mentalis and zygomatic major twitch. It is pretty strong mass movement. I have been doing Botox for years and the results are mediocre as it affects my smile and regular mouth movements. I have seen experts. But I am wondering if I should be trying botox around my eyes instead? Perhaps stopping the constant blinking? It does seem as if I also have excessive blinking. What doctor would I see?

It's not unusual for a bit of blood to get trapped under the skin or for patients to be left with a slight red mark following any injectable. Your injector is correct—this should fade in about a week or so. Keep an eye on the area and contact your injector if it seems to be getting worse...
The charcoal should have no effect your Botox. It is injected into the muscle and stays there. Always seek treatment from a qualified physician.
