I was not told that this is not advised. This is my third botox treatment and I got a small amount on my frown line and crows feet. What are the chances the wax caused the botox to spread to neighboring muscles?

Try not to worry - its something we always warn people about but doesnt often seem to cause too many problems, and light rubbing/cleansing the face should make too much difference to the effect of botox or migrate it to the wrong place.
This question has been answered recently. The outer corner of the eyebrow can be raised slightly with the use of one to three units of Botox in the downturned orbicularis oculi muscle. This is close to the insertion of the top of the three common crows feet Botox injections.
Thank you for your question. Botox in the masseter region usually takes longer than in the standard areas to take effect. I tend to use anywhere from 15 units (conservative treatment) to 50 units (for someone with really strong masseters) on each side to get the desired result. It may start...
