Prominent Forehead Vein Appeared One Week After Botox

Michelle15931
I have been receiving botox regularly for the past three years. This time, exactly a week after injection to the glabella area, I developed a prominent vein which runs from my left eyebrow up the middle of my forehead to the hairline. This vein is only visible if I smile or pinch the bridge of my nose. My doctor said there is no botox connection. Is there any treatment for this condition?
