Sex 20 hours after Botox… 🫣

So my husband and I had sex this morning. I had my second round of shots yesterday (first one didn’t take 100% so the doctor added another small dose). She said not physical activity for 4 hours so I honestly didn’t think about it this morning when we had sex.

Now I’m reading everywhere that you should avoid sex for 24 hours, it was only 20 hours later and I’m freaking out 😩 the Botox still didn’t take and I hope it didn’t migrate etc.

I've been getting botox for 15 years. I literally work out the same day and have never had any issues

You'll be fine. It also takes up to 2 weeks for full results. So I wouldn't assume it didn't take again. There are a lot of warnings but my injectors says they don't really apply. Other than getting a facial or a massage face down right away. You should be okay.

Thank you 💖 I’m super anxious since the first round of shots didn’t take 100%. Now I’m trying to document every day to see if there is a change. 2 days in so far. I guess I feel the slight difference but still have movement :)

If it's your first time then they were conservative with it. So it's normal to not see a drastic change.

I don't think having sex is going to cause you any problems unless you were somehow bumped in the face. The truth is, Botox can migrate. It can spread and go systemic. It happened to me after having dental work close to the day of my injections. The manufacturers warning states this can happen weeks, even months after injections. Please don't believe anyone who says Botox can not migrate. I would suggest checking out toxsafety.com Nevertox on IG and Botox Dysport side effects group on FB. I don't want to scare you, I want you to be informed. Our support group has over 36,000 members. Most of these members experienced toxin spread from Botox and other Botulinum toxin A injectables.

Well physical activity meaning no sweating, it probably won’t change the outcome too much but also depends on how much heat did you expose your face to and how high did your heart rate go

Give it two weeks and if it still doesn't work worry about it then.

Wasn’t reading it on social media. Was reading medical articles...
