I touched Botox injection site right after not knowing not to touch - am I going to have an issue?

Thank you for your question. it is unlikely you will experience any adverse effects from Botox. You can still touch your face, it would be the act of massaging the Botox into a muscle it is not indicated for. All the best,

After I inject Botox, I have to clean the dried blood off of the forehead.  Sometimes, I have to press hard.  I have never seen an issue from cleaning the blood off after Botox.  I think there is a very high likely hood that you are going to be just fine.I hope this helps.

You have nothing to worry about if you touch your Botox injection sites during the first 24 hours after receiving Botox. No need to freak out!Touching those sites will NOT affect your outcome. 

Thank you for your
question about botox. If you pressed just a few times and no very hard, you should not have a problem. Botox will usually take full effect within 7-10 days. At this time you'll be able to assess if more botox is needed. 

To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

Hello Abmd32,Thank you for posting your question. It is unlikely that you will have any problems with your Botox treatment due to light pressure. Vigorous massage of the area or laying down flat would pose a concern. The effects of Botox should be seen in about 5-7 days, at this point you will be aware if there is any adverse reaction. Hope this helps!Best Wishes,
