Some of 4 out of the 6 injection sites are still visible after 24 hrs. All the literature states they should resolve in redness after a few hrs. Is this permanent damage? Am I still in the normal time frame? Even if they hit a blood vessel , will this resolve on it's own?

Answer: Botox for crow's feet.
There are several tiny blood vessels around the eyes and the red dots you see are tiny bruises caused by the injections and they will fade within a few days. In the future, avoid substances that cause bruising such as alcohol, green tea, vitamin E, fish oils, garlic and anti-inflammatory agents such as Aspirin and Advil for 1 week before your Botox treatment. The application of ice pre-treatment may also prevent bruising. You may apply foundation to hide the bruises.

Answer: Botox dots at injection sites
Most likely petechiae, or fine bruising. It will resolve in a few days. Not to worry. In the future be sure to be off of those medications that make you prone to bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory agents for 7-10 days, unless you are taking these agents for a potential life-threatening condition, such as heart disease or stroke prevention. It is probably best to take your chances with bruising.
