Asked By:conwayholl in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Hello, First time botox user and Got 20 units in the forehead and the "11's". The posted picture is the first day of botox, the 3rd day, and the morning of the 4th day from left to right. I'm definitely noticing smoothing in the center of the forehead but the sides and "11's" are taking longer to kick in. Is there a reason everything wouldn't kick in at once? Is it likely to continue to progress? I have a follow up with my doctor at day 7 but was just interested in your thoughts.
