I had Botox in my forehead and elevens lines five days ago. This is my second time to have this treatment. The first time I noticed results v quickly. This time yes my forehead lines are gone but elevens remain and I can still frown. I felt my doc was distracted when doing the procedure (many patients waiting).The doc injected into my right eleven line but not my left. On first treatment my elevens disappeared within 3 days hence my impatience. Any advice?also will I have to pay if I require a touch up?
