I recently got Botox to treat my 11's. One side took, and I clearly noticed the "crunch" of the needle into the muscle. The side that did not "crunch," barely took and had to be redone a few weeks later. I was told it was because one side was "stronger." What gives??? Thank you for your time, PKR

Answer: Botox injection technique Botox can be injected directly into the muscle or just around the muscle. The liquid should distribute enough so that the effect should be the same. Feeling a crunch on one side versus the other would not necessarily mean that one side was injected into the muscle and one side was not. Many times, people do have one side that is stronger than the other at the frown area and sometimes one side will need a bit more than the other.

Answer: Botox efficacy based on depth of injection Botox efficacy, results and safety are based on a combination of factors, so make sure you have an expert injector such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon treating you, not a nurse, "technician" or other. Generally speaking injecting into the muscle is optimal as that is the target (we're blocking communication between the nerve and muscle).
