Strange Sensations in my Forehead Caused by Botox?

JessiCo
I had Botox injections in my forehead (as well as a few other places) about a month ago. Just this past week I have been experiencing a strange sensation across my forehead, especially if I rub it, and my muscles seem to move in a wave-like motion and contract for a few minutes. Is this the Botox wearing off or something else going on? I asked my Dr. today but he said he didn't really know what was causing it. Thanks!
