Botox - Sensory Issues?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your good question. If your are not over-treated there should be no feeling from the Botox. Over-treatment can give a heavy sensation to the forehead which eventually disappears. Find an experienced oculofacial surgeon who will treat you conservatively.
Good luck,

As a neurotoxin, Botox prevents the release of neurotransmitters and affects the function of your facial muscles. This can feel a lot of different ways for different people. Many patients report a feeling of fullness or heaviness in the forehead—especially initially after treatment. While this feeling can last for some people, especially those who are particularly sensitive, many patients report that they adapt and actually feel relief in their forehead after a couple of days. Though it’s impossible to know exactly how Botox will feel for you, you can count on the effects fading with time. Typically, Botox lasts about 3–6 months, and if you’re unsure, you could request the lower strength with fewer units to reduce its longevity. We hope this helps and that you are able to find treatment that feels comfortable for you.

If you try botox and you don't like the sensation or result, it will wear off after approximately 3 months. Sometimes, (but not in all cases) there is an adjustment period for a few days when it first takes effect. However, you could consider keeping the dose very light and have your injections done more frequently.

Some of what you will experience will be influenced by the number of units received and your injector's experience. Some patients may report a tightness or heaviness to the forehead that tends to soften over the first few weeks following treatment. You will retain normal tactile (touch) and pressure sensations.

Botox may feel tighter for the first days or two, however the sensation goes away within days. After that you should not feel anything.

While Botox only works on motor nerves (not sensory), it still affects your senses. Forehead Botox can sometimes make the forehead feel 'heavy'. This sensation resolves as you acclimate to this new "normal" affects. The good news is that if you HATE it, then it wears off in 3 months (but the sensation you dislike resolves even earlier).
Best wishes.

The needle will cause mild pain with each injection. Botox does not cause any sensation. After a few days the muscles in your forehead will not lift your brows as much, and the wrinkles will start to decrease. If you are concerned, I recommend having just a few units of Botox injected in the middle of your forehead and then return in two weeks to add more if you did not have any significant issues. This would be very inexpensive and safe.
