Hi. I've had Botox done on my forehead just between my eyes about 5 weeks ago. Now I am in Italy and using factor 50 sun cream. However it seems like ecaxtly where the chemical is injected it has created a pigment mark that looks like a map. Why did this happen and what can I do? Will this fade as the chemical gets absorbed by my body or will it stay forever? Thank you. L

In my opinion it always good to wait at least 24 hours before exercise, so the same would go for bending down and dyeing your hair, the Botox and fillers will be settled in place.
It sounds like your docs went to a weekend course and thought these injections were a good idea without much experience. There is nothing that can be done to fix this or expedite the recovery. It will come back to normal in about 3 months. These lower face injections need to be done perfectly or...
The shooting pain was probably from irritation of a nerve by the injection. Even if the Botox were to get into your eye, it would not cause a problem. No need to be worried. Botox works great. Look forward to your results:)
