Over “Botoxing” – The forehead muscles and Botox/Dysport/Xeomin.
To reassure you, sometimes it’s a great idea to just let it wear off completely, and then reassess the need for it. While it’s wearing off in the 3-6 month period, there may be odd looking muscle action, but it’s temporary. Not all the muscles are the same size, had exactly the same amount injected into them, or wear off at exactly the same time.
As you know, Botox is temporary, but the relaxed muscles get smaller because they are not “exercising.” As you go longer, the muscles will slowly get stronger again and your forehead will start to look more like it did pre-Botox.
Once it’s worn off, you can reasses what your goals with it are. Remember that young faces have movement but no wrinkles …….so isn’t getting as close to that as possible the goal? Movement but no wrinkles. I often think that less is more with Botox and smaller amounts strategically placed look more natural to my eye. Over “Botoxing” rarely creates a face that looks younger or natural.
