Does Exercising Within 4 Days of Botox Make It Wear off Faster?

July 12, 2011
Asked By:KeepItOnTheDL in Barrington, IL

The doctor who administered Botox to my glabella told me not to raise my heart rate for 4 DAYS following the injection -- no yard work, no working out, no arguing, etc. He said the added blood flow reduces how long the Botox lasts. I've found no information substantiating his claim. He also won't administer Botox within 30 days of the end of a 7-day round of oral antibiotics because he said it cuts the effectiveness in half. Again, I find nothing to substantiate that claim.
