I have had the same exact results as you regarding botox, but only after having an injection in my forehead. It's been 6 months and again tonight, I am greeted with forehead pain (different than a headache). I probably won't get another injection in my forehead (besides the intermittent pain, it seems to still be effective), but may continue on the crow's feet. Everyone should also listen to the adage, "you get what you pay for". To Diane (09-2008). I have had the same exact results as you regarding botox, but only after having an injection in my forehead.

Absolutely fantastic results already and I can't wait to see what the next few days have in store. No bruising, no pain and quick! My friend has hers done by her dermatologist and she never knows when she's going to be bruised or if she's going to have Donald Duck lips as she likes to say. Why would anyone continue to put themselves in this kind of danger is beyond me. ALWAYS choose your injector CAREFULLY, this is your face afterall. There are RISKS, read about them! I am a Nurse and can tell you, you get what you pay for in every area of life. Don't learn a hard lesson the hard way. BE CAREFUL, Botox works in the right hands. Enjoy the results, I am hooked that's for sure!!! I had my first Botox injections yesterday performed by my plastic surgeon!

My first Doctor was injecting at the top of my forhead and needless to say results were poor (we dont have muscle up there!) .After a couple of treatments I decided to find another Doctor and found one who seems to know exactly where to inject - results are mush better.I've been having treatments for a couple of years without problems although the first time I felt a little frozen for a few days but I think this was probably my imagination playing up !

I noticed that with both injections after about a year and a half my forehead really, really hurt (not a headache but the forehead muscles) for a few days at a time every few weeks for about three months. Each time with the pain came depression (and not from a vanity standpoint that the wrinkles were coming back or anything). Thankfully I realized it was somehow related to the Botox so I just dealt with the weird thoughts(I've never had depression before at all). I tried to read about the after effects but could find no publications that discuss this. It will not stop me from getting Botox again because I love the injections, they make you look ten years younger, but I know the pain and depression will return about a year and a half after stopping the injections. Has anyone else had this experience?

I am pleased with the results. I like how my eyebrows now fly up a bit at the ends when I smile and I can't frown even if I want to. All good. I did have a headache afterwards for about a day, the site of the filler was swollen with tiny bruises for about a week, and even my forehead had two tiny little round bruises for a week. But I do bruise easily and it was the week before my period so I kind of expected that. The filler place is still a bit tender, even now. However, ever since I had it done I have had it done I have had a spot/pimple on the site of one of the needles, between my brows. I NEVER get spots usually, skin always clear. Can there be a link? hello, I had botox a few weeks ago for crows feet, between brows & forehead, and filler between brows as well. I am pleased with the results.

Just make sure to not lie down for at least 4 hours after treatments. The first time I had Botox, I was fine, and then it was either later that night, or the next morning, that I had a horrible headache. I was freaking out, and found lots of reports of people getting headaches after having Botox. However, mine went away a half-day later, and that was the only side effects I've had from Botox. I've only had it three times, though. Katt,

Is this common? It's never happened to me before. Hi, Had my Botox refresher this morning between my brows & my head has been killing me for most of the day.
