Botox caused veins in forehead, temples and 2 large dark blue veins that run from sides of eyes down entire face.Any suggestion?

Question

Got it 1 mth ago, veins showed 2 weeks after injections. read this exact same prob from other Botox consumer. Yes it is a reputable doctor. Yes I have had Botox before, six other times. No, these veins were not visible until exactly two weeks after injections. Yes I called my dr and was told to come in and it prob isn't from Botox. Yes it is! Not going to drive to city and pay again just to have another procedure recommended to hide visible veins that were caused from my $700 Botox treatment!

Thank you for your question about Botox.It is very difficult to answer your question without pictures.To be sure, return to see your doctor or see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

The only thing I can think is that because the muscles aren't able to move as much anymore, the veins are showing more because they are more present and you can see the blood flow there more clearly. These would be veins that are always there but because muscle movement is inhibited, the superficial veins show more. When Botox is done it can create kind of a plane, so this is why light reflects differently and anything under the skin can be more present. While people hate lines and wrinkles they do help hide some things. You have two options: 1. either have the veins treated or 2. they will stop appearing this way when the Botox wears off. It seems though that you like to have Botox done so your best option just might be to treat the facial veins so they are no longer there. These are superficial veins that you don't need for blood flow purposes, but for facial veins you must see an expert to have them treated.
