Botox Massaging

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Cheek and forehead tingling after brow line Botox

I live in Korea and went to have Botox for my brow line. The doctor did not advice or told me after procedure care, so I massaged it 9 hours after the injection. The next morning, my brow looks as if the Botox is working, but my whole forehead and cheeks are tingling too! Would I have paralysis? I'm scared!

You dont want to massage after botox as you may disperse the botox into the areas that you may not want it in.  At this point you just have to wait and see what effects you will have.  But the tingling is normal part of the feeling.
