I recently had botox & Xeomin and then less then a week later had a MRI. It came back showing a calcification(front lobe.) Can it possibly be from the injections in my forehead?

YES! botox can be used to treat facial redness and flushing.  This is common for my rosacea patients.  I suggest also using a pulsed dye laser or yellow laser to your forehead and botox more "scattered" so it's less noticeable.  Best, Dr. Emer.
