Can Botox cause painful lumps even after two weeks? (photos)

Asked By:CuriousCat1212 in Missouri

I got 16 units of Botox between my eyebrows and forehead exactly two weeks ago. I noticed some swelling at first but now they just look like lumps and it hurts when touched. This was my first time and I don't even think it did anything to the wrinkles. It gave me headaches and you can see the red dots where she injected. She also did this immediately after a micro pen service....

Answer: Swelling can occur for 1-2 hours after Botox injection. However, this may be due to your microneedling treatment.
