Does Exercise Impact the Longevity of Botox and Other Fillers?
I'm a huge fan of Botox and fillers;however,I wonder about the exercise impact.Most say none.I spoke with someone who works for the manufacturer of the most popular "furrow freezer" who said exercise can impact it's longevity.Also, I burned through an out-of-the-box vial (one cheek) of a 12-18 month advertised filler in about 6 months.Im thin but have gained weight not lost.Why conflicting opinions and experiences?is there a point when a lot of filler is lost at once vs. gradual?

Exercise is not a known cause for faster resolution of botox or fillers
Exercise is not a known cause for the disappearance of the effects of Botox or fillers. Although there is no scientific studies whose evidence points to the quicker resolution of these products in those that exercise, one does wonder if the increased metabolic rate in pateints that exercise a great deal stimulate the metabolism of the products injected and make them go away more quickly. Good studies would be difficult to design for such a purpose but would be very interesting.

Botox-Filler
There is no exact science of course, to know how long either product will last. I have seen that some clients need to be treated sooner than others, and sometimes the type of filler used can affect the length of time the volume lasts. Always discuss with your injector your expectations and concerns and know that neither of these products work the same for each person.

Exercise impact on injectables
I usually ask my patients not to exercise for at least 24 hours following any sort of toxin or filler treatment. I have seen no correlation between exercise regimen and the longevity of injectables.

Botox, fillers and exercise
Although there are no published reports on the impact of exercise on Botox and fillers, anecdotally, some physicians have noted that persons who are highly, metabolically active (marathon runners, exercise enthusiasts) may break down fillers such as hyaluronic acid (Juvederm and Restylane) and calcium hydroxlapitite (Radiesse) quicker. However, there are no formal studies evaluating or refuting/supporting this claim.

Botox and fillers
Botox and fillers should not be impacted at all on acitivites at the gym. If you lose weight, it may affect the result of fillers because you may become more deflated.

Longevity of Botox and injectable fillers and exercise
Althought the longevity of Botox and injectable fillers can vary between individuals there is no definitive evidence that vigourous exercise will significantly shorten the effectiveness of these products..

Botox and Exercise
As the panel members discussed, it would be highly unlikely that your excercise regimen is directly affecting the duration of your dermal fillers and Botox treatments. Although we agree that there is a small percentage of patients that metabolize the product much quicker than the expected duration, we don't believe the link is exercise in and of itself.
However, we do instruct patients to not engage in exercise for four hours following their treatment. This...

Excercise and longevity of botox and fillers
We have found that this is up to the individual. Some folks will break down the product more rapidly than others. Sometimes it is a biochemical thing. Sometimes the patient is very animated with the facial muscles. Sometimes patients who are hypermetabolic will break the Botox and/or filler down faster. Part of the confusion is the answer is that all these things can influence the breakdown of the product, but what role each plays in the individual is hard to...

Does exercise impact longevity of Botox and fillers?
No, exercise has no impact on how long Botox or soft tissues last. There's no pysiological connection or link proving any association to substaniate that premise.

Exercise will not affect longevity of Botox
Botox and other products like Dysport work by inactivating the connection between a nerve and muscle at a microscopic level, and it typically takes the body about 3-4 months to restore the connection. So the amount of time the effect lasts depends on this healing process, which would not be affected by exercise. Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, work differently because they fill in wrinkles, so when the product dissolves the wrinkle re-appears. Thiss too should not...

There is absolutely no evidence of this.
I practice in Los Angeles. My patients are gym rats for the most part. I can assure you that vigorous exercise has no bearing on the longevity of these treatments.

Effect of exercise on fillers and botox
After injecting both neurotoxins and fillers since they came out, I can say that yes, excessive exercise definitely does have the possibility of decreasing the duration of these products. Excessive exercise produces free radicals - all biochemical processes in the body such as digestions also product free radicals. Free radicals then have the ability to break down tissue in the body, as well as products that are injected. Anyone who exercises a lot should be taking...
