Is There New Protocol for Rubbing a Botox Injection Site?

It's not uncommon for an injector to hold pressure and push on the treatment somewhat, especially if you're bleeding it's always indicated to hold pressure. If you're visiting a well-trained and reputable injector and practice, you're likely getting exactly what you paid for. There is no correlation between massaging the product versus not massaging with relation to efficacy and longevity.

This is a great question and practice patterns vary. In my practice, I do not massage the areas I have injected. It is my feeling that this can spread the Botox toward unwanted or unintended areas, and since I plan all of my injections based on my assessment of the specific strength and location of muscle activity, this would compromise the result. I recommend that patients take it easy for the rest of the day after injections (no weight lifting, yoga, etc.) and I provide disposable icepacks for those who want them.

There isn't much I can add to the excellent posts.  Botox usually lasts 3-4 months.  The long lasting benefit could have been from atrophy of the muscles after treatment.  Massaging usually is only mildly helpful.  Depends on the location and the person doing the massaging.  At 6 days, massaging will not affect any spread.  Good luck.
