If Botox migration occurs within the first day (4-6hrs), why do adverse effects occur days later?

Thank you for your question. Botox is a very safe procedure. Botox settles into place in the first few hours after injection but can take 7-14 days to take full effect. You only need to avoid lying flat, massaging the treated area and wearing hats until the Botox has settled into place. However, I do advise not exercising for the first 24 hours after treatment. However, there is no standardized post treatment guidelines. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. While there is some anecdotal evidence of BOTOX® migration occurring during the days following an injection, for the most part, your BOTOX® should be set in place within only a few hours. However, if you’ve combined BOTOX® with dermal fillers, it’s possible that BOTOX® may have tracked to other areas of your face along with the fillers. Remember to visit a medical spa for your injections to ensure top quality results.
