I am having botox for the first time to my forehead, forne line and crows feet. How long after can I sunbathe? If I can't sunbathe after then why not?
Answer: Botox after care Thank you for your question. I typically focus my aftercare on restricting activities that make you hot, sweaty or flushed: Examples include strenuous activities, alcohol, saunas, hot baths, etc… This will increase your chance of bruising. If no bruising, by the next day, the you should be good to go. If there is, then I recommend another day to make sure the bruise is not getting worse. I am not as worried about the not laying down after four hours.

Answer: Botox and sunbathing HI there thanks for the question. As part of botox aftercare I always suggest staying clear of temperature related activities such as sauna, steam room, sun beds, sunbathing alongside excess exercise as a precautionary measure for 48hours. This can increase the risk of bruising and potentially interfere with the effectivity of the product. Hope this helps! Dr Rupert

Answer: How to care for your skin after treatment with Botox Whether sunbathing is good for your skin is another discussion, but the effects of your Botox treatment will not be affected even by immediate sun exposure.

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question.Sunbathing will not affect your botox directly, although it is not recommended to lay down at least 3-4 hours post Botox injections. If you plan on being in the sun it is important to protect your skin from harmful UVA & UVB rays with a good SPF with a high zinc level. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Sunbathing - not a good idea Sunbathing is not a good idea as it damages the skin and can cause many other problems. Botox is used for rejuvenation and it is best not to damage your skin from too much sun. With more details, please ask your doctor.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.
