That is not recommended because you are encouraged to be upright for at least 4 hours after the procedure.

Tanning beds will not affect your Botox results unless you are going to the tanning salon immediately after your Botox injections. We recommend not lying down for 4 hours after Botox injections so as to decrease the risk of the product migrating (moving) to areas we do not want it to go.
On another note, tanning beds have been linked to much higher rates of skin cancer and we would highly recommend that you avoid them.

Tanning is not the reason you should not go to a tanning salon its rather not lying down for a minimum of 4 hours following a BOTOX treatment. I'm sure you already know that UV tanning is now medically recognized as an unsafe practice.
