Hello and thanks for your question. Migration of botox happens quite quickly if you rub the area for example. We would warn patients to leave the area alone for 24hours to be safe of any migration as it's unlikely after this point. Always go to a qualified and experienced practitioner for any injectable treatment, best wishes
When injected, Botox will migrate slightly from the injection point. In a clinical study, researchers found that Botox migrates 1.8 square centimetres from the injection point give or take 0.65 square centimetres. Injectors are aware of this an take it into account when injecting. Experienced injectors know which areas of the face to avoid to prevent any unwanted effects of Botox.If you are considering getting Botox, I would recommend meeting with some experienced injectors in your area for a consultation so that you can discuss any concerns you may have prior to treating. I have found that it is not uncommon for first time patients to have some questions and concerns prior to their first treatment, and then are very pleased with their results.
