I have had Botox done a few times. I'm sure that the first few times I had it done, they used Azzalure, but more recently I've had Botox. With Azzalure, my forehead was literally frozen for nearly 6 months, but with Botox, I could still move my forehead, it seemed a lot less effective and wore off much quicker. Is that usually the case? My doctor says she won't use Azzalure because it's not as safe as Botox, and that Azzalure is cheaper for a reason.

Everyone has unique expressions. We move our facial muscles in a repetitive way and over time those repetitive movements cause wrinkles and fine lines. When you start to experience the signs of aging, Botox are available to diminish unwanted wrinkles and creases in your face...
Hello and thanks for your question. I would avoid injectables in this area until this skin infection clears up a bit as it could lead complications. Please always seek a qualified and experienced practitioner, Best wishes
Botox is very
safe when it’s used around the eyes. It’s very unusual for Botox alone to cause
puffiness. It may however cause puffiness when used in combination with a
filler. This may go away in 3-4 months when the Botox wears off but may take
longer and thus depend on the filler dissolving.
