Are headaches and pressure-like feeling around eye/eyes a side effect of Xeomin?

When we inject any of the neuromodulators such as Xeomin, Dysport or Botox to reduce unwanted muscle action of the brow, forehead and/or lateral eyelid area, we have to use small needles. After all, it is an ‘injection’ .  We uses as small a needle as possible and try to limit the number of pricks to as low as possible. But there is some slight discomfort, temporary tenderness sometimes and occasionally a patient will experience a mild headache-like feeling which subsides in a day or so. 

Headaches are sometimes reported as a side effect of a neuromodulator like Xeomin. It should resolve within a few days. If not, please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Headaches or Pain above the eyes is a common side effect. It usually only lasts a few days.  The freezing effect of the Xeomin can make the forehead feel heavy. Tylenol or Motrin can help with the discomfort. It should go away within a week. If not, you should contact your provider.

Headaches are a potential side effect of neurotoxin injections and usually resolve in a few days. If this was your first treatment, the strong muscles on your forehead and around the eyes can try to readjust to the treatment and cause muscle spasms and tension. Use of Tylenol or Advil can alleviate. A light massage of the area may also help.

Headaches post neuromodulator injections are normal side effects and should only last a couple days.  They are also more prevalent in first time users.  You may use an NSAID or tylenol to help combat the pain. Hope this helps! 

This is very common, especially after the first treatment. This is because muscles in the front are relaxed, and muscle action in the back is not. This lead to a 'tension headache'. This WILL settle within 3-4 days. You should not experience this will follow up treatments. This is not unique to Xeomin and can occur with Dysport and Botox injection. Not to worry. Dr Davin S.
