I was injected total 400 units or botox in palms and soles 10 days ago . Palms were 13 days ago and soles 10. I felt good but since last four days I'm having trouble swallowing food and water. Dry food is really hard to swallow I need to drink water to swallow bite. Its not painful I just have to push it down harder I guess. I don't have blurry vision or droopy eyes. I've been stressed to since last 20 days so maybe it could be stress? I'm seeking advice what it could be also injections not given by professional it was messy and without local anesthesia and it was really painful.

I’ve been suffering from facial pain and headaches for a long time. I wasn't aware of the facial and head muscles or of severe myofascial syndrome. My pterygoid muscles are in terrible shape—really bad. I get stabbing pains in my temples, pressure, sharp pains in my cheekbones, and horrible ear and head pain. Physiotherapy was recommended, and I’m trying it, but it isn't working. Has anyone had similar experiences? Has anyone had Botox injections—or something similar—in that area? Thanks.

hi guys! i got masseter botox with xeomin on september 1st, around 30 units per side. i went back for a top-up around 16 days later and got another 12 units per side, so around 42 units per side (84 units total).

it’s now october 12th and i’m genuinely seeing absolutely no difference 😭 my masseters look just as bulky as before, i’m still clenching my jaw a lot, and i haven’t noticed any reduction in muscle activity.

the thing is, this isn’t normal for me. i’ve had masseter botox before and i would usually start noticing the effects within a couple of weeks, so i’m confused as to why this time it seems to have done literally nothing.

it’s been around 6 weeks since my initial treatment and almost 4 weeks since my top-up, and i honestly can’t tell that i’ve had anything done.

has anyone else experienced this with xeomin specifically? did it eventually start working, or did you end up switching brands? i’ve also seen people talk about botox resistance, which has made me a bit worried, but i’ve never had this issue before.

would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s experienced something similar, especially if you had no effect on both clenching and masseter slimming!
