Asked By:justcurious1988 in Adelaide, AU

Hi, I just had botox injections in my forehead and frown lines. I was told it was ok to go for a walk afterwards just nothing strenuous, no sweating, touching and to keep head up. I have now been researching and am scared that I should not have done this. What is the likelihood of any migration. Do you think I will be fine?
