Dear Korea
The general routine for my patients after a Botox injection- is to mobilize the muscles treated ( for most not wearing sunglasses is sufficient) for a few hours. Massage is not required. the protein binds very quickly and thus does not travel far from the injection site.
if this is your first treatment then you may have some odd sensations- usually these start 3 to 5 days post injection- and more commonly around the lips. The tingling you are describing is not what I would expect but you did massage your forehead for 9 hours- most likely the reason- not the Botox or injection of the nerves.
Make sure you return to your MD for a 2 week follow up to see that you are having the desired results and that your physician is happy as well.
With Warm Regards,
Trevor M Born MD
