Washing and applying cosmetics after Botox for Migraines? 1 day post op.

April 21, 2018
Asked By:estheticromance in Myrtle Beach, SC

I got my first treatment of botox for chronic migraines yesterday. I am seeing a lot of information on aftercare for cosmetic botox, but feel that botox for migraines may be different (more injections, multiple sites). My main concern is showering (washing hair and face) and applying cosmetics. How long should I wait before doing both?
