Approximately 6 weeks ago, I had my very first Botox injections between my eyebrows. This week, I've been getting an odd tingling sensation in the treatment area. It's sporadic, and in addition, it feels like I've "lost control" of my eyebrows. And my skin also looks very rough while I'm experiencing these sensations. Is this a normal part of the process when Botox fades? I loved my results, and I am hoping this is normal, because I am really looking forward to getting more in 6 weeks.

Answer: Can You Feel A Tingling Sensation In The Treated Area As Botox Injections Wear Off?
Results last for about 3-4 months, so you can expect the about the same longevity for your results. You can try acupuncture. Just make sure to wait until you've recovered from Botox before getting the acupuncture. 2 weeks is a good timeframe, but you may want to wait 3 just in case.
It is hard to tell from your photo, but it appears that you may get your results by reducing your trapezius and/or platysmal muscles. This can be done with BOTOX. Seek out a board-certified Facial Plastic surgeon for a consultation. Best wishes
