Will tensing/wrinkling injected facial muscles soon after Botox or Dysport administration cause migration to unintended areas?

Asked By:pac99 in Maryland

Some doctors say you should purposely tense/wrinkle the injected facial muscles soon after injections to further work the Botox or Dysport into the muscles. I’ve also heard that the day your Botox is done, its particularly susceptible to migration and that you need to be extra careful. Soon after injections, does purposely tensing/wrinkling (without using your hands) your injected facial muscles cause an increased risk for Botox or Dysport migration to unintended areas? Is it safe to try?
