Will Massage 2 Hours After Treatment Affect Botox?

In response to your question, it is not advisable to massage after botox injections.  Patients are recommended to wait 24 hours before putting any pressure on the area.  Massaging the injection site can cause the botox to travel in unwanted areas such as the eyes.  If it does travel to the eyes, you may get a droopy eyelid for a few weeks - it will resolve as the Botox effects weaken.  For best results you should always follow your plastic surgeon's instructions as carefully as possible.  If you don't notice any improvement within a week, then I would make a follow up appointment  to discuss further treatment.
 

Generally, because such small needles are used and Botox is injected into the muscle, there is not much disruption to the skin surface. That being said, it is safest to avoid rubbing the treating areas (no creams, facial massages, etc.) for 3-4 hours after Botox treatment . Manipulation or rubbing of the muscles a short time of injection can potential spread the Botox into areas that you do not want. Most importantly, the eyelids, causing the unfortunate eyelid droop. Also, any strenuous activity (heavy exercise for example) should be avoided for maybe 6-8 hours, just to decrease the chance of bruising which can be unsightly temporarily (especially when treating around the thin eyelid skin). By 12 hours after treatment, you can pretty much resume all creams, facials, and activity you want.
