6 days ago, I received Botox injections (1st time) on brow line to lift brows and on crowsfeet. I saw effect in 48 hours, amazing - lines on forehead disappeared. Day 4, post treatment, I went on a strenuous bicycle ride (2 hours) - I tried to wear helmet it as loose as possible - but hard to do. On day 6, post treatment, some lines on my forehead have re-appeared and eyebrows don't seem to be as 'lifted'. Is this normal at 6 days or did I make a mistake by cycling / wearing helmet too soon?
