When's it safe to touch treated area after Botox?

June 17, 2016
Asked By:jroa in London, GB

My doctor advised not to touch treated area for 24 hours and to sleep on back. I had it done at 1330 and it's not yet been 24 hours l. I keep forgetting myself and on several time I have briefly rubbed the treated areas before realising what I was sound ! Also in the night I've turned on my side as this is the natural way I sleep ! I'm now panicking my actions will have moved the Botox and I'll end up with droopy eyes and eyebrows? Do you think this is likely ?
