Is Botox most effective when injected directly INTO the muscle?

Asked By:pke in Denver, CO

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
