Distance Running After Dysport, Safe?

I run 6-8 miles almost everyday and had my first Dysport injection yesterday. If I run 8 miles 24 hours after my treatment, should I be worried about anything?

Dysport

I would not recommend any strenuous exercise within the first 24 hours of receiving Dysport. After this time period, you should be fine.

Post Dysport Treatment and Exercise

Thank you for your question. The usual recommendation is no vigorous exercise for the first 24 hrs. You should be fine to do your daily activities after this time period. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

OK To Go

Running 24 hours after dysport injections should not be a problem. I advise my patients to take the day off from physical activity following injections but have no problem returning to it the next day. Good luck!

Exercise 24 hours after facial injections

Assuming there is not any bruising or any excessive swelling, there should be no problem exercising after facial injections with Dysport. In my practice, I do not have patients exercise, do yoga or pilates the evening of their injections. It is very safe and appropriate to resume those activites the next day. Enjoy the Dysport!

Re: I run 6-8 miles almost everyday and had my first Dysport injection yesterday. If I run 8 miles 24 hours after my treatment,

It is common practice to advise clients to refrain from sleep, bending over at the waist, and exercise for 4 hours following injections with Botox or Dysport. This is to minimize the chance of having the product migrate to an undesired location. I am not aware of any restrictions the day following Botox or Dysport injections, and would instruct my clients to resume their normal activities the following day. Being that you exercise at a high level almost daily, it is worth noting that... more

Dysport and Exercise

In our practice, we recommend patients refrain from any type of exercise or strenuous activity for four hours after the treatment. During that period, we recommend you also refrain from laying down and that you keep your head above your waist. Thus, running 8 miles one day after your treatment is fine.

I can only tell you about what I do for my patients.

We advise anyone having a service delivered with injections to the face including Dysport not to exercise until the next day. Aside from that we have no physical restrictions regarding exercise. Patients have not had any issues.

Exercise after Dysport injections

I tell my patients they are free to do anything they choose without restriction immediately after their injections. Within 20 to 90 minutes after neurotoxins such as Dysport, Botox and Xeomin are injected, botulinum neurotoxin type A can be detected inside the motor nerve endings. Therefore the muscles and nerve endings take up the Dysport, Botox or Xeomin very quickly before they can spread far from the injection site. It is important for you to know that in marathon runners and individuals... more

Dysport and Exercise

It's fine to exercise after Dysport, especially if it's something you do regularly and your body is used to. The only thing I tell patients is to please not push on the area for about a day after the injections, so when you're running, try not to wipe sweat off your face harshly with a towel or your shirt or anything.
