Can you offer info about my spasms and cramps after Botox?

Question

I had Botox injected into my forehead from hairline to glabellum Feb 18th. 30 units. For the last few weeks I've experienced cramping and spasms in my 11 area. The cramps can be felt down to the middle if my nose. If I look in the mirror you can see my muscles contract and distort. If for instance I put pressure on the area it also triggers this. I did consult my injecting doctor about this with no answers. Any info would be helpful here.

There is no theoretical reason that Botox would cause cramping but everyone reacts differently. The goods news is that it is not a serious side effect and will dissipate once the botox wears off in 3 months. Nothing you can really do to speed up the duration of effects. Either try a different toxin like Xeomin or Dysport of avoid in general.
