Sudden bulging blue vein on forehead after Botox, how do I get rid of this? (photos)

Asked By:Cosmetic journey in Los Angeles, CA

After my first round of Botox(not sure if this is relevant) I noticed that I was developing a bulging vein on forehead. It seems to just have severely popped out, although it's retracted again as I type this. The worst it ever looked, I also had the most severe cluster headache behind the eye correlating behind the vein. Im afraid of IPL. Common for me, responses from a dr such as this, "that isn't common", or, "I've never seen a reaction like this before". So minimally invasive would be ideal.
