I have crackle sound/feeling in skin after Botox. Is this normal?

HealthFanatic7
Had botox for 1st time 24 hrs ago. After home from my appt my skin crackled when I scrunched (between my eyebrows). I heard this same cracking sound during procedure (forehead & glabella). I pressed on my upper nose a couple times and heard/felt the crackling again. I didnt press anywhere after this! Is this sound/sensation normal a couple hours after treatment? Did I mess anything up by briefly pressing on it? I'm concerned with this happening right between my eyebrows near my eyes of course!
