Hi I carry a lot of tension in my forehead. I feel it over my right brow and lid and sometimes down right side of nose. It even looks like I am frowning slightly just on right side. It is uncomfortable and makes me look tired. From afar and in some lighting its is possible to see raised muscle on inner and outer side of right brow. I would love to have some relief from this tension but am anxious about treating one side of face. And also unsure if treatment would help at all. Many thanks.
