How damaging is brief shoulder/neck massage 6 hours after Botox for migraine? What if's longer massage and 36 hours?

Received Botox for migraine today. First time. No after-care instructions. Went and had a mani, and she vigorously massaged neck/shoulders for 3 minutes. Did that mess up the neck/shoulder Botox injections? I have an hour massage for 36h after injecitons; assume I should tell her not to touch head/face just in case. Would her massaging neck & shoulders screw up injections, if 36 hours later but for 10-15 minutes in that area?
