Hey everyone,
After much hesitation, I decided to try Botox for my forehead lines and some tension headaches. I went to Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre (
https://www.vancouverlaser.com/) , as I’d heard great things about their expertise. The team was super professional, and the injections themselves weren’t too bad—just a little pinch here and there.
For the first couple of days, everything seemed fine. My skin looked smoother, and I thought I’d finally found a solution for those stubborn wrinkles and tension. But then, on day three, I started to feel this weird, tight sensation in my neck. By the next day, it turned into full-on muscle pain, making it hard to look down or even hold my head up properly.
I called the clinic, and they assured me this was likely a temporary side effect that should ease up soon. Still, I’m nervous—has anyone else had something similar happen? How long did it take to go away?
I feel naive for not asking more questions beforehand, like how experienced the injector was and what side effects I should look out for. I really trusted the clinic, and I still do—they’ve been kind and responsive—but now I’m wondering if this is just my body reacting badly or if something was done wrong.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has had neck or muscle issues after Botox. Did it resolve, or did you need additional treatment? I don’t want to give up on Botox altogether, but I’m feeling really anxious about trying it again.
Any advice or shared experiences would mean the world to me. Thank you! 🙏
