it can cause the relaxations of muscles in areas other than the intended <a href=\"https:\/\/surgerytoday.com\/modesto-botox\/botox-muscles-of-the-face\/index.htm\">Botox targets<\/a>. \u00a0This may lead to eyelid droop or double vision for example. \u00a0However, these risks are rare, but because they are present, I still want patients to take the precautions of avoiding vigorous rubbing after Botox. \u00a0Vigorous rubbing includes &#8211; rubbing with a knuckle, getting eyebrow waxing, <a href=\"https:\/\/surgerytoday.com\/microdermabrasion\/\">Microdermabrasion<\/a>, and perhaps using the Clarisonic brush. \u00a0Also things that rub the areas of Botox injection include face down massage, face down <a href=\"https:\/\/surgerytoday.com\/acupuncture\">acupuncture<\/a>, face down chiropractic manipulation. \u00a0The area I worry about the most is the glabellar area (the area between the eyes). \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.injectionartistry.com\/botox-pricing\/\">Other areas of Botox injections are reviewed here along with number of units and pricing<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Working out can cause the area of Botox injection to bruise more easily. \u00a0Four hours seems like a reasonable amount of time to allow any unrecognized subcutaneous bleeding to subside and thus the risk of bruising would become less. \u00a0With exercise there is an elevation of blood pressure which can sometimes cause subcutaneous bleeding to recur and thus cause more bruising. \u00a0However, with 4 hours of abstinence from exercise, the risk of additional bruising is decreased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The risk of bruising after Botox injection<\/h3>\n<p>I believe that the risk of getting any sort of burise after Botox injection is about 20 percent.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Us for any questions regarding your Botox aftercare<\/h3>\n<p>Please feel free to call us. \u00a0We would love to hear from you and any questions you may have after your Botox injection. \u00a0(209) 551-1888.<\/p>\n<h3>Other services that we offer besides Botox:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Veins sclero, Vein Laser<\/li>\n<li>Acupuncture (ie. <a href=\"https:\/\/surgerytoday.com\/education\/back-pain-acupuncture-treatments-in-modesto-ca\/\">Back Pain<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Fillers &#8211;
