Got Botox injections with makeup still on injection site. Should I be concerned?

April 25, 2019
Asked By:katherinetg in Columbus, OH

I just got Botox injections in my forehead at my dermatologist office. I have had Botox before, but never at my dermatologist office, so I am somewhat aware of the process and what to expect afterwards. I realized, however, that this time my doctor never took my makeup off prior to the treatment (only using alcohol wipes after the procedure to clean up). Should I be concerned?
