After getting Botox in late afternoon, will resuming my physically active job the next morning cause Botox to migrate?

After Botox is administered, we advise patients to refrain from laying down within a few hours of the injection and not agitating the area of injection with pressure for at least a day. These measures are meant to keep the toxin localized in the tissues where they are intended to take effect, which ensures vastly better results.

In most cases, there is no downtime after a Botox treatment. However, I would check with your injector to make sure you can safely return to work the next morning based on the nature of your job. In most cases, the answer would be yes, but your injector is the best one to make the call. As a general rule, you only need to worry about Botox migration for a few hours after your procedure. 

Thank you for your question! We generally recommend waiting 4 hours before laying down or doing any physical activity after receiving Botox injections. You also want to avoid rubbing or massaging the area for at least 24 hours. Going back to work the following day should not cause any issues for you. 

I generally recommend waiting at least 4 hours before resumed any type of physical activity following the injection of Botox.  You should be fine waiting until the next morning.  

While its best to direct this question to your injector, it is not necessary to take a day off work after Botox injections. In our office, the staff and the physicians receive it and go right back to work! The neuromodulator binds to receptors within a matter of hours and at that point, migration is highly unlikely. I usually recommend that patients avoid strenuous activity the day they receive Botox because increasing heart rate and heat will increase the chance of bruising.  You will be fine at work 12 hours later.

Thank you for your question.  You may resume your normal activities by the following day and should not experience any issues.  All the best!  

It's always best to discuss this with your injector. We recommend that our patients avoid exercise and excessive sweating for a few hours after the botox treatment. You should not need to take the day off work the next day. 

Hello, thank you for your question! Botox doesn't tend to migrate, so you should be fine to return to work the next morning. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  You will most likely not suffer any migration of the product during that amount of time as Botox is absorbed within a couple of hours of injection. Hope this helps.

You should be fine to resume your regular duties 8-10 hours after your treatment. Be sure to either stay upright or lie flat or slightly elevated to ensure migration does not occur when you go to bed the day of your treatment.
