Botox and Restylane in the Heat!
It is not a problem, come on in! Matter of fact, you might sweat less after having the Botox!

Treatment with Botox or Restylane and heat waves
There really is no concern as far as outdoor heat and the use of Botox or fillers like Restylane or Juvederm. While we generally don't want our patients to go into a sauna, jacuzzi, or steamroom for the first 48hrs, this really has more to do with increased swelling and bruising that can occur with prolonged heat exposure and when the needle pokes are still healing. We'd be happy to assess you at Toronto Dermatology Centre, phone: 416-633-0001.

In This Heat Wave is Having Restylane and Botox Affected? Should You Wait?
Environmental conditions should have no effect on Botox or demal filler products. Just like sunlight and exercise won't effect your results, neither will the outside temperature or humidity. I hope this information is helpful.

The Effect of the Heat Wave on Fillers and Botox
Dear Belledajour,
If the products you inquired about have been handled correctly during their shipping and processing and they have been maintained according to their guidelines in the doctor's offices, there should be no problem with injecting the HA products or Botox/Dysport during the hot months of the summer.
Hope this helps.

Restylane, Botox, Juvaderm, Dysport and the like can be used in any climate.
There should not be a problem with you having treatment with Botox and Restylane even if it is hot outside.

Injecting Botox and Restylane when its hot
Having either fillers or Botox during a heat wave should not be a problem at all. The injections (I assume) will be done indoors setting most likely air conditioned anyway. Regardless the heat will not affect the outcome.

Botox and Restylane in a heat wave
Botox and Restylane are kept at controlled temperatures in the office. There is no problem having them injected in hot or cold weather, but you should not apply heat to the areas at home.

Heat and fillers and Botox
In the high temperatures injecting Botox or fillers should not be a problem. Enjoy the products and stay out of the heat!

Doing Botox or Fillers in Heat Waves
Having these procedures done when temperatures rise (or lower!) is absolutely fine and doesn't affect the integrity of the product. The injectables will be kept in well-controlled temperatures within the office, which is the only point it matters. Once it's in your body it's not affected by heat waves outside.

Heat will not affect fillers
It is really hot this summer. and Botox are stored in the office which is climate controlled. There would be no effect on the result based on the outside temperature, just as other medically necessary injections would not be affected. Outdoor temperature would not affect the result.

The outside temperature and Restylane or Botox Treatments
Speaking from the perspective of a surgeon in Austin, Texas where 100+ degree weather is common place. I can assure you that these products work just the same as when the temperature is cooler.

Ambient temperature is not a problem for fillers or botox
Whether it is cold or hot outside should not prevent patients from having Botox or fillers. There is no evidence that temperature differentials can affect the longevity of the results of Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Sculptra, fat injections, Botox, Dysport or Xeomin.

Fillers and/or neurotoxins during a heat wave
There are no contraindications for injection of a dermal filler and/or neurotoxin during a heatwave that are documented. Discuss any concerns you have with your provider for further education.
