I recommend that you avoid working out or performing vigorous physical activity for the rest of the day of your injection, but the next day or 48 hours later you should be fine.
There is no problem with exertion or if you sweat the day after botox, so for you, two days later, there should be no concern.
Hi Ella. We recommend refraining from heavy exercise for 4 hours after Botox treatments. This is a somewhat arbitrary (the amount of time) precaution, and will differ depending on the injector, but is taken to minimize the effect of Botox migrating to an area that was not injected. Increased circulatory activity (like that seen in heavy exercise like running) may have this potential. 48 hours is way more time than necessary to make sure that the injected Botox is bound to the injection area. Hope this helps.
Yes, it's perfectly safe to go running after a Botox treatment. We recommend waiting 24 hours.
Having said that, the biggest risk of bruising in the first few hours after treatment. Generally, it is nice to follow the recommendation of your injecting physician since they are the ones who will be taking care of you if there are any issues after treatment.
