I had Botox in my forehead, the 11s area and crows feet. About 5 hours later I had an itch on my brow and and scratched at or above and below the brow hairs with medium to hard pressure completely forgetting. What are the chances I will experience a bad effect from this?

Answer: Rubbing injection area 5 hours after Botox Hello and thank you for your question.Rubbing or scratching an itch at your Botox area in 5 hours after treatment will not affect your results. I am not worried for you. Remember that it can take up to 3 weeks for you to see full results, and many experience results within the first week. If you remain worried, talk to your injector, they will welcome your questions and put you at ease.Kristin Tarbet, MD, FACS

Answer: Rubbing the eyebrow after Botox Botox injection is one of the most commonly performed office procedures. It's safe when properly administered and there very little to do in terms of after care or restrictions.Scratching or rubbing the brow inadvertently probably won't do anything, especially 5 hours after the injection.If you have any concerns, I recommend returning to your injector so they may examine you. Safety comes first.
