Why Was my Botox So Painful?

Sky girl
I have been getting Botox for ten years and have never experienced anything like this. When injected, it felt like fire spreading across my forehead. The pain was so severe that I asked her to stop. My mother had the same experience as well that day. Could it have been mixed wrong?
