Botox + Tattoos - Any concerns about scheduling treatments this close together?

The doctors office has a Wednesday afternoon appointment available to get botox (forehead/eleven), but I'm scheduled to get a forearm tattoo the next afternoon (23 hours later). Any concerns about scheduling this close together or all good? Thanks so much!

Hello, the only treatment after botox injection is to wait for the botox effect to pass. By the way, entering hot environments such as saunas can shorten this period. This period can last 6-8 months. The best thing is to wait. Unfortunately there is no other way.

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a protein that enters the cell and prevents the nerve signals from telling the muscle to work. It is eventually metabolized and the muscle regains its function after some time, usually around 3 months. Hope this helps answer your question!
