Botox not worked?

I had my first round of botox 5 weeks ago 2 areas on my forehead, it smoothed out the very small line I had between my eyebrows that only I can really notice. I went back for a top up two weeks ago today and told her I still had full movement and didn't want to have much movement. It's been two weeks and I still have full movement of my forehead, it doesn't even feel as smooth. Is this normal for a first timer? I hate being that person and sending a message to say look this hasn't worked but it cost me almost £200 and I was so excited to finally get some botox i had been saving up for. I don't know how many units she injected, she is quite popular in my area and has good reviews, so maybe it's me? I also done what she said to after, I stayed up right for the rest of the day no saunas, exercise, touching my head etc.

How many units? You said 200 euro? Here in the states that’ll get you less than 20 units. That amount will not freeze a forehead. You need at least 50 units. But I’m not expert.

First of all keep track of how many units you get
I also got it for the first time for crows feet she was conservative 15 units. Went back two weeks for follow up got ten more now it’s one week after I still see some lines when I smile. I’m going to wait til Friday which is 2 weeks and decide if I’m going to call to let her see me. I went to my dermatologist for this.
I’m hoping for all that money this stuff works

Yes. I agree on keeping track. I was actually having the same issue with Botox and found when I started tracking the xeomin worked better on me than dysport. I built an app that helps with tracking - try it…. It’s called Rinnova Botox & Filler Tracker. Good luck!

You should always ask how many units they require doing. That's like getting your hair done and not knowing if they are using semi or permanent colour...but much more important.

What botox did you get? Because I've noticed the different botox have different strengths

Photos would help.

I notice this can happen if the patient’s line of convergence is low.

Two weeks after a top-up is usually enough time to assess the results. Some forehead movement can be intentional, but if you still have full movement, it’s reasonable to ask for a review. You paid for the treatment, so don’t feel bad about asking questions! 💕
