I got Botox for the first time back in December. I still had full movement in my forehead and Glabella area, so I went back for a touch up. Now, Half the time I have full movement in my forehead and between my eyebrows, & the other half I cannot move the areas at all. What might cause this? I can’t find anything online, and now I’m worried that I wasted my money on these treatments, since it clearly isn’t working. I would say a total of 35 units was used between initial and follow-up injections.
