Botox injected to form bubble under skin and allowed to dissipate method?

marifaith
I've been receiving Botox treatments for the past 3 years where it was always injected deeper into the skin/muscle. Yesterday I received a treatment from a new doctor (he had done other procedures on me, but this was the first time going to them specifically for Botox). Instead of the method I'm used to, they injected it right under the skin to form a bubble which they said would dissipate after 15 minutes. I'm worried this method isn't as effective, but has anyone else had it done this way?
