Botulinum toxin injections in the face - limited facial expression

I had the excessive sweating on my forehead eliminated with botulinum toxin, but it appears that I now have limited expression on my forehead as a side effect, which I do not like. What options do I have to fix this?

Hello, the reason is further distribution of botulotoxine underneath the skin into frontal muscle thus affected with relaxation. Strictly intradermal injection is essential. Now wait till the effect is gone.

the toxin needs to be injected intradermically (more superficial) in order to not paralyze the muscles

The effect of Botox is the same for every neuron employng acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. That is why it acts on sweat production and muscle activity the same. As sweat glands are located more superficial than muscle (in the deep dermis) the application should be done more superficially trying to avoid it reaching the muscle, and in lower individual doses, to affect muscle activity the least.

Unfortunately you have to wait for the effect to pass and continue with very low dosage of botulinum toxin, dosage that cannot guarantee the effect on excessive sweating.

BTX injections to block the excessive sweating is much different in the concentrations and its injection method" decided individuality". Absolutely another technique is used to manage the wrinkles or the headache (Migraine, cluster tension ...etc), or for active acne block, or for face reshaping aesthetically. Once you had the wrong technique injection, since that there is no gross asymmetry within your face shape, its better not to interfere with its action, its self subsiding over months. at least after 3-4 months another block for sweating could be applied. Best regards.
