I recommend that my pts avoid lying down, touching /rubbing the areas and strenuous exercise for 4 hours after botox injections. You are definitely ok to have a bath after botox- enjoy

There is no problems bathing after having Botox injections.  Once injected, you should have no concerns. I wish you the best of luck, Dr Emer.

I advise patients to avoid strenuous exercise for 4 hours after Botox injections.  After that time, it is safe to resume normal activity, including bathing.

John Newkirk, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

No problem. Enjoy your bath. I believe that BOTOX is bound immediately to the facial muscles and I allow BOTOX patients to carry out any activity that they want immediately after injections.
