Deep ridges under eyes - too much Botox?

Dynamic1264May 24, 2019
I had Botox injected 3 months ago. I’ve had it four times before over the last 4 years. This time I’m not sure if the injector might have used too much or something?

There should be no problem having PRP for hair loss and Botox on the forehead at the same time.  Either procedure could cause some temporary swelling on the forehead, but any swelling present should not affect the ultimate results.

I appreciate your concern, but when Botox is injected correctly into the masseter muscle, it should not affect your ability to chew. There are luckily other muscles, such as the pterygoid muscles, responsible for chewing. In addition, chewing should not make the Botox migrate to other areas of...

I typically tell my patients that they should be able to resume all normal activities 24 hours after Botox injections.  I would encourage anyone looking into having this procedure to meet with their physician injector to discuss any questions they might have as each injector will have their own...

Thank you for your question. There is no contraindication to using Botox and Minoxidil at the same time. However, I would make sure your doctors know you are undergoing both treatments simultaneously just to be safe. Make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist who is also a...
