How do I treat tight/pressure feeling in temples after Botox that gets worse when lying down?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry you are experiencing these side effects. Patients sometimes experience headaches after Botox injections due to some swelling from the needle injections.  The effects of Botox generally become apparent in the second week after treatment. Some patients do experience some tightening in the forehead, but tightening in the temples is a bit unusual. I recommend scheduling an in-person assessment with your injector to determine why you are experiencing this discomfort and whether there is anything that can be done to reduce it. 

Sorry you are feeling unwanted pressure after botox. I like to tell patients that it takes a full 3 weeks for botox to fully "kick in" and "settle". Sometimes we can experience some temporary effects at the onset of a treatment that typically settle by the third week. Hopefully you have experienced some relief!

Some patients experience a headache or tightness to the forehead after Botox injections which typically resolves after a week or so.  It is unusual to have the intense pain in the temples that you describe.  I would encourage you to visit with your injector for an evaluation.

I am not sure what area was treated with Botox but I can tell you that Botox kicks in at approximately the 10 day mark. I am not sure why you are only feeling pressure in the temple region? Some patients describe a "tight" feeling in the forehead when the glabella and forehead are treated. Please be sure to check with your physician's office with any questions/concerns you may have. All the best!!!
