Can You Exercise After Botox or Will It Decrease the Results?

Thank you for your good question. I usually advise my patients to refrain from vigorous exercise for 24-48 hours after any type of injectable treatment. This ensures the produce has time to "settle," and reduces the risk for side effects like swelling. I would ask your injector for specific guidelines. Make sure you are working with a very experienced, board-certified injector who can produce the best possible results for you.

I don't limit patient after botox.  We used to have limits (don't lay down for 4 hours, no excercise that day).  I now say "no limits"... though i do encourage them NOT to go straight to bikram yoga and stand on their head.  Otherwise, no limits.  Hope that helps!

Thank you for sharing you question. I tell patients to wait 6 hour before exercising just to be safe. Probably, nothing would happen, but it's better to be cautious. Also, make sure an experienced injector performs your treatment to avoid problems. Good Luck.
