I recently got botox done for the second time. She injected my 11's and the muscle above my brow. It was much more painful then the first time and she massaged the area to spread the botox out. It didn't work well at all I still have faint lines and can move my one eyebrow. She reinfected it again 2 weeks later and still no results. I feel she's injecting too deep and that the massaging is hindering it as well.

Answer: Massage after Botox
Physicians or injectors may have different techniques for how they inject Botox. Some of the different techniques may have no effect on how well the Botox works and some may have an effect. The depth of the injection could possibly affect the Botox result. I do like to massage an area after it's injected to help prevent having a lumpy look to the treated area. This is done not to move the Botox to another area but to just help reduce the localized swelling from the fluid injected. I have never found that this type of massage negatively affects the result and have actually found that it helps.

Answer: Botox and Massage
We all have our favorite method for injecting Botox. I personally do not massage in that area between the eyes because I don't want it to spread. You want a very experienced Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon to do your injections. You also want to be sure the Botox or Dysport is very fresh. It is possible the product has been saved for several days or your injector is not as experienced as you need. Getting fresh Botox in the correct area and your treatment should work.
you may want to do a little more research for your next treating physician. Be picky on who does your treatments for you.
