Q. I am a massage therapist. Please advise how soon after botox I can give a facial massage. Does a facial shorten the affect of a botox treatment.
A. The thank you for your enquiry I recommend to my patients to avoid pressure to the areas treated with Botox for the first 24 hours, as well as to refrain from exercise for the same duration. I suppose that for maximum safety you may want to extend this interval to 48 hours, and I would recommend that around the forehead the direction of the massage is always away from the eyes (which it probably is anyway). Once the botulinum toxin has attached itself to the receptors present in the neuromuscular plate, I cannot see why massage to the area with change in anyway the duration of the effect.
