Washing your face will not impact the results of your Botox treatment. Just avoid vigorously rubbing the treated area for the first couple of hours. It is also advisable to refrain from intense physical exercise for the remainder of the day.

Hi! You can wash your face and apply skincare products over the treated area. However, it is advisable to avoid massaging the area. Best of luck!

Washing the face after Botox injections is safe, but it is advised to avoid washing aggressively over the treated areas. Strenuous exercise on the same day should also be avoided.

Botox injections are typically placed below the skin, and patients are advised to avoid intense physical activities and facial massages on the day of treatment. Regular skincare routines can be continued, but the injected area should not be rubbed aggressively.
