Can I Go Running 48 Hrs After Getting Botox? I just had botox yesterday morning and I was wondering is it ok to go running tomorrow afternoon? is it ok if my forehead sweats?

A: Botox and excercise

It should be OK to exercise 48 hours after having Botox injections. Sweating should not prevent the Botox from working.

Botox in Naso Labial Area, Is It Realistic to Expect Same Results Each Time? 6 months ago my dermatologist put a tiny amount of Botox into the top of the naso-labial folds because my smile creates an extra "bulge" line in my cheeks. It looked great and even the droop in my nose tip when smiling seemed less pronounced. However, I am scared to repeat the experiment in case this time it affects my smile or mouth movement. Your thoughts, please? Do you think I just got lucky last time? Could the effect of Botox here be unpredictable/disastrous?

A: Botox and nasolabial area

I routinely use botox in the nasolabial area and have gotten good, consistent, results in relaxing the nasalis muscle. You do not need to consider treating this area as experimental. As long as your physician injects the same dosage of Botox into the same area, you should get similar results in the future.

Wrinkles Have Returned Only a Few Months After Botox, Is That Normal? I had botox a few months back and now I can see the wrinkles come out again, which means my botox doesn't work anymore.

A: botox and the return of wrinkles

The effect of Botox in reducing or eliminating wrinkles will usaully last for 3 to 4 months. When Botox is used to decrease sweating the effect will last up to 6 months. With repeated use, the muscles in an area can be come progressively weakened and therefore the injections can be spaced out over a longer time interval.

	“Botox Review for Crow's Feet - San...” I had went to the dermatologist because I was unhapppy with the dark circles around my eyes, the deep hollows (sagging) below my eyes, and wrinkles around my eyes. On my first visit I met with an assistant (apparently she is a sales person). She recommended that I try the Ulthera Skin tightening and had told me that if I had the full face and neck treatment ($3600.00) - it would improve the... more

I did this on August 25, 2009 and hope that it can for up to 4 months. more
	“Artistry is Involved with Botox” Botox is old news but I discovered, having switched to another provider, that placement of the shots is an art and definitely affects my appearance! The first time I had Botox I ended up with the desired, diminished forehead crease but also a brooding look to my face. Despite that, I liked that better than seeing the crease. To my surprise, when I went to a new provider for another... more
	“No Results, I Feel I Was Cheated &...” Hi, my name is Kym and I have been getting Botox treatment for about 2 years. I have recently moved to San Jose from southern California. So I search for a new Dr on the internet and came across the {edited - clinic information located at the top of the review for registered users}. So I called for an appointment, When I got there the meeting was brief and my experience most of the Dr. spent a... more
	“I'd Do It Again” I was generally pleased with Botox in my crow's feet area. It made more of a difference than the IPL and Thermage treatments I had around my eye area. In the future, I'll definately get it again, and in other areas if needed. One issue is that when the Botox is in full force, I can't squint when the sun gets in my eyes. I have to carry my sunglasses around all the time. But it's only a... more
