I generally advise my patients to wait 24 hours before having a facial massage following Botox treatment. It is important to consult with your physician and discuss which areas were treated to determine if it is safe to have a neck massage.

I typically advise my patients to wait at least 24 hours after their Botox treatment before getting a massage or engaging in strenuous physical activity. The pressure applied during a massage has the potential to impact the distribution of Botox and potentially affect the desired aesthetic outcome.

Botox has the potential to migrate or spread after injection, especially under pressure. It's important to discuss your massage plans with your injector and receive clearance before proceeding.

After Botox, avoid facial massages in the treated area. For neck Botox, massages should be fine, but avoid the neck area. Always consult with your specific surgeon for personalized recommendations.
