Is Botox still effective at the site of a broken blood vessel due to injection?

November 2, 2015
Asked By:Ncognito in Los Angeles, CA

I just had my regular Botox injections and one of the injections on the forehead must have hit a small blood vessel or something because within half an hour, there was a noticeable bump there with only slight discolor. I iced it and it has already gotten better, but it got me thinking: Is that particular injection wasted due to the swelling, or will the Botox still get to the right place and do its job? tia
