I am nearly 3 days out from receiving 30 units of botox in my forehead. I have tingling and cannot sleep due to my heart rate wakening me. I am active and healthy and have never experienced anything like this and am very concerned about long term effects and if this will go away. Please help

It's most likely that the injection/needle was close to a sensory nerve, thus causing you to have that strange sensation. If any minor nerve injury occurred, it will certainly heal over time and go back to normal.All the best
Although extremely rare, Botox can migrate and possibly cause loss of bladder control. This would most likely manifest itself as incontinence. I'm not a urologist, but I don't think that incontinence leads to a UTI very often. I would think that urinary retention would be a more likely culprit....
Botox is injected underneath the skin into the target muscle, so any treatments to the skin - including lasers and micropen, will not effect the results of your treatment. As you've mentioned, you will see the full results of your Botox treatment in about a week.
