Should botox be injected slowly or quickly?

kellywhite
I've gotten botox twice now and from two different providers. One was a PA and she did a very slow and calculated injection and would both insert and inject slowly. She hit a blood vessel I guess cause I got a bruise under one eye. The next day I couldn't squint as much as I used to. The other provider was an MD, he did super fast pricks and was done. No bruising. I was still able to squint but everyone said I looked so refreshed.
