How do I know if I'm rubbing my forehead too hard after Botox? I'm so worried when I wash my face/moisturize about moving things

I generally recommend that you avoid any strenuous activity and keep your head elevated for the first 4 hours after a Botox treatment.  In addition, I recommend no rubbing or touching of the area for the same amount of time.  You should be fine at this point to do whatever you want to your face since the Botox will have already bound to the receptor.

Thanks for your question. We always advise patients to avoid excessive rubbing of the areas for 24 hours after treatment to ensure there is no Botox migration. I hope that helps

Hello, This is a great question. I advise for patients to wait 4-8 hours to avoid strenuous activity. Such activity including washing of the face and applying moisturizer should not be a problem to do at night. However just avoid aggressive massage, etc. but a simple task of face washing and moisturizer should not be a problem. Hope this is helpful.
