Why can't I exercise or shower after Qwo?

Courageous3933Mar 9, 2022
I would like more information on after care, like can I go for a light run? Why can't you workout right after qwo injections? Can I use an inferred sauna right after qwo injections, and if not why? Can I dry brush right after qwo injections, and if not why? Why are you not supposed to shower for 24hrs? There needs to be more after care instructions for incredibly active individuals and more information on why its not ok to run or workout for 48hrs or shower for 24?
