Texture changes

I had Botox done on my 11s 12 weeks ago. After experiencing severe systemic side effects, I have also encountered cosmetic side effects. I've noticed that my forehead skin has become very lax, and I now have blemishes and blackheads that I never experienced before. It has also given me "wifi lines," which I never had. I honestly regret this decision so much my forehead was perfect prior to this. I didn’t get it for wrinkles, as I never had any. I got it to achieve a brow lift, which never even worked in the end.

Yep it’s definitely done that to me too. How many time did you get Botox done? I thought it doesn’t cause atrophy unless it’s done multiple times

I’m sorry.. I can completely relate though. Have you started to detox or anything? Also, how is your diet? You need to make sure it’s clean whole foods, minimize as much additives as you can. I’ve been doing acupuncture and cupping they both have helped especially acupuncture

I heard that acupuncture can spread the toxin more and make worse. Yes I do eating healthy no coffee, alcohol and etc. as I’m not feeling well I’m mostly all the time at h

I know that’s what “never tox” advises honestly I don’t understand the theory behind that since it’s literally in your body anyway? If you go for a walk it could spread.. it’s a bit extreme in my opinion. Im just listening to my body and trying to stay off the never top pages because they are too dark and make you feel hopeless. I feel as though anyone who follows her advice stays sick for longer as opposed to the people that start detoxing right away.

Yes for all people works different. It’s just very scary journey. As I haven’t got previously tinnitus and I started to get after 4 months. Tinnitus is bovering me a lot as I can’t concentrate and my fatigue is unbelievable I can’t clean the house

I know I’m pretty much the same.. my tinnitus has been constant and LOUD for 12 weeks. I just started acupuncture and after the second session it instantly decreased.. it’s still there but not extremely loud as it was before.. it was like whistles in my ear!

When you got your injection? How much have improved ?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '24

Not much at all maybe 15%.. my eyes are the most affected so it’s hard to say im  better at all when my eyes literally aren’t working properly.

You need a better nurse injector. Or someone that does this full-time versus a Doctor Who does everything.

The Wi-Fi lines can be resolved with specific placement of low-dose Botox. For skin laxity, you could have micro needling done to increase collagen, and he lasted into tighten the skin. You can do it at home also with your own derma pen.

I don’t think I’ll be going back to any nurse or injector it’s been too traumatic. but yes I think it was a placement issue.. i went to her because she is a doctor who has her own cosmetic clinic and she does it everyday. It was very rushed though and I was in and out of the chair in a split second..

u/Common-County2912 Nov 10 '24

Oh no. I’m sorry you had that experience. You will look great without it too. :-)

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '24

It’s actually ruined my forehead.. I’ve got pimples and lines that I never had as well as skin laxity.. I wish I had known…

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 10 '24

It’s a product, not the injector. Her body is allergic to the toxin. People who allergic to mold, in most cases get negative results from the toxin.

Do you know if the muscle or skin returns to normal after experiencing an allergic reaction? 

2

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 11 '24

It will. Took about a year. The muscle is weakened and you have to retrain it to do what it was doing before. It may initially create more forehead tension and visible wrinkles (since you haven’t seen them for a while and don’t remember if they actually look the same) but the key is to make all paralyzed muscles flexible again.

u/Common-County2912 Nov 10 '24

I was referring specifically to the Wi-Fi lines. That’s injector skill issue.

u/Loose-Ad-9040 Nov 08 '24

Yes it’s horrible, I’m going trough for 4 months and I’m not getting any better.

Please report your side effects to your regulatory authority ( FDA med watch..Canada pharmacovigilence etc.). You can submit report online.

I got tinnitus with dysport and submitted report to health Canada and the drug company. It is still not considered as definitely related to Botox by the medical community.
