How long does it take for botox to attach to the nerve?

July 24, 2015
Asked By:liliruss in Houston, Texas

If I massage the area the next day? Would I have caused the botox to migrate or not work? In the area I was treated for the 11 lines, I had 25 units and it did not get rid of them but has dropped an eyelid and brow. The dr said it was properly injected and that most likely when washing rash and rubbing area moved it but I was beyond careful for the first 24 hours?
