I know the guidelines are not to lean over for 4 hrs to prevent migration of botox to other areas, however after that is it ok to lean over, for example to wash hair over the sink. Does the 'migration' risk stop after 24 hours and is it ok to sunbathe face down after 24 hours

Answer: 'Migration' risk is minimal Dear Milly, Generally adverse reactions to botox are not due to 'migration', rather incorrect injection technique/dose selection or more rarely, patient sensitivity. The toxin injected is rapidly absorbed within 1-2 hours and there is no risk of 'migration'. Thats is to say that if you are going to get a problem, the dice was rolled at the time of injection. As a final note, different types of botox tend to behave and spread differently so there is more chance of adverse reactions with certain types of toxin. There is no problem leaning forward and enjoy the sunbathing!
