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

There are no studies that suggest certain activities could affect Botox injected areas. That being said, I still suggest refraining from any vigorous activities on the day of your injections.

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.
