Asked By:maxxieng in Vietnam

My muscles are not sore at all, I can still clench and bite like nothing happened. And of course no visual result. The problem is I don’t know exactly how much was injected. Is this normal after 1 week? I usually hear peope saying the initial result starts at the 2nd week? So does that mean the muscle only starts to “paralyzed” after 2 weeks?
