I had 40 units of xeomin for the first time 4 days ago (Thusrday) a few on my foreahead and then for my cross feet expression lines. On Friday afternoon I started to have a moderate pain like inside of my left eye coupled with headaches. The pain in my eye is mostly gone, only when I move it to the left but my headache is there. I mostly feel it on top of my left eye...like pressure. I cannot function normally. How long does this normally last?

Answer: Headache following Xeomin (or Botox or Dysport) ?
Xeomin is an FDA approved neuromodulator that has been used on thousands if not millions of patients. It has been shown to be effective and useful for its intended purposes.
I recommend getting treatments at an office similar to mine where a physician/surgeon-injector administers your injections...
Thanks for your question and the photo you provided. It is difficult to say, since I did not examine you myself, but many people have asymmetry to the eyebrows, wrinkles, muscles before any injection and then after wards is when the patient notices! More neurotoxin should help achieve more...
I always tell my patients to wait the full two weeks before making any adjustments. Most patients will see the full effects within around 10 days, but at 3 days post-injection, it is simply far too early to make any determinations about the results.All the best,
