Answer: Botox Around A Fresh Wound May Help Prevent The Development Of Spread Scars Botox works on suppressing muscular activity, and muscular movement around any new healing wound can lead to the formation of stretch scars. As such, Botox has actually been recommended for concomitant use around surgical incision lines to minimize the development or the extent of spread scar formation. I routinely inject it nowadays around surgical excisions for this purpose, especially when the excisions are in areas prone to a great deal of muscular activity, such as near the shoulders. I have also not read or personally observed any negative effects on wound healing from it. So, in short, the Botox can only potentially help.

Answer: Botox and forehead laceration While Botox will not interfere with wound healing, most injectors will forego elective injections around open skin for fear of infection. It sounds like you had Botox prior to your cut; that shouldn't be problematic. Without knowing how old your laceration is, you may benefit from either sutures, taping, or keeping the laceration moist now, and regular sunscreen and taping the cut after it heals. I suggest you call a few plastic surgery practices in your area to seek further advice about your laceration, as I would argue that repairing the laceration and getting it to heal well takes priority currently; most elective laceration repairs can run the cost of a Botox treatment. Good luck!
