How Long After Botox Injection Can You Put Pressure on the Injection Site?

Kauri

Botox is rapidly absorbed at the injection site and blocks the facial nerves from stimulating the facial muscles.   There should be no problems putting pressure on the injection site after 24 hours.

Avoid touching or rubbing the area(s) targeted for a couple of hours after your treatment, however to be on the safe side you should wait until the next day before applying therapy compression. This is to minimize the risk of the injected BOTOX® spreading to muscles that were not targeted during your treatment.

There should be no reason that you couldn't use the dressing the day after, if not four hours after, botox injections.

I would think that by the next day would be OK.  However, I did not inject you or examine you.  Presumably the physician who injected you did.  I would call the doctor's office, have them paged and directly ask the doctor this questions.  They should not be too busy to address this important question.

I would suggest waiting 24 hours to be sure.  What  is the rush to palce the compression back on so quickly?  Granted it is probably safe within 3-4 hours but no one has done studies that I am aware of to confirm that.
