The question on the mind of many people who have botox “How long after botox can you lay down” You may have pain or be a little tired after the Botox injection, but you should avoid lying down for the first four hours after the injections. Both bending over and lying down can spread the toxin and cause bruising at the injection site.
You can relax, but to be safe, avoid your bed, because it’s tempting to lie down and take a quick nap! Set a timer on your phone so you don’t forget.
Once it’s off, you can lie down (make sure you’re on your back if you’ve had an injection in the face) and relax the way you want.
If you forgot or don’t know yet, you don’t have to worry too much.
While we do not recommend lying down for the first four hours after treatment, this is more to ensure the procedure is as effective as possible. After all, you want the best results you can get, right?
There is no evidence that lying down immediately after a procedure will have a long-term adverse effect on the patient.
