How long after getting arm Botox can you swim in water?

I instruct my patients to resume normal activities following Botox injections; yoga, weight training, bicycling etc. Enjoy your swim!

Hello and thank you for your question.  I would recommend asking your board certified provider for post treatment information.  Vigorous exercise is typically not recommended the day of treatment. I ask my patients to resume normal exercise activity the following day.  Botox is injected into a very specific area for specific outcomes, with exercise and/or excessive sweating, you may diminish or exacerbate the effects of the Botox in the targeted area.  I hope this information helps and best of luck to you!

Physical activity should be limited immediately after the botox treatment simply to reduce the risk of bruising.  For example, I have had patients who did not follow this advice and developed a significant bruise after doing a spin class within hours of a service.  The risk of this seems much lower 24 hours after service.
