I had botox in July for the first time. 2 weeks after, I noticed these vertical lines/ripples going from my brow area and between up to the hairline. There were also slight indentations above my brows going towards the hairline. I waited 4 months and go back. I showed the nurse and explained my concerns. She said my doc prob didn't do enough. We tried again and withing a few days an the lines are back- andworse! I went back for more and lines still there :( Pls help
