In Aug 2018, I had fillers in the nasolabial fold and botox in the forehead. 3 weeks later, more botox and fillers in the forehead. In Oct 2018, I felt tingling and stretching on my forehead as if the muscles/skin were being pulled apart. By Dec 2018, there was a change in texture of the skin around injection area-enlarged pores, acne, darker skin and skin/muscle sinking and more wrinkles appeared. Have you noticed similar effects of botox and hyaluronic acid filler? What is the solution?
