How Soon Can I Exercise After Receiving Botox Injections? And What Might Happen if I Were to Exercise the Same Day?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that early activity such as exercise, alcohol, or laying down early will have any impact on your botox treatment. We advise patients to avoid early manipulation of the area, such as a facial or clarisonic treatment, to prevent potential migration of botox toxin. However, no studies support this as well.

I recommend that my patient avoid exercising and doing strenuous activities for 24 hours after botox/dysport injections.Increasing the blood flow to the area can "wash out" or flush that area and cause decreased effectiveness of the injections. This time is needed to cause the botox to be picked up by the tissues in that specific area.Hope this helps.Best,Dr Sajjadian

Avoid working out or performing vigorous physical activity for the rest of the day of your treatment. Your rate of recovery may be compromised if you exercise the same day, making swelling, bruising and discomfort last longer.

About 2-3 hours after Botox injection is an appropriate amount of time to wait before exercising.

I inform my patients to wait 24 hours before any type of exercise or skin treatments to create a better outcome.
