Answer: Treatment with Botox or Restylane and heat waves
There really is no concern as far as outdoor heat and the use of Botox or fillers like Restylane or Juvederm. While we generally don't want our patients to go into a sauna, jacuzzi, or steamroom for the first 48hrs, this really has more to do with increased swelling and bruising that can occur with prolonged heat exposure and when the needle pokes are still healing. We'd be happy to assess you at Toronto Dermatology Centre, phone: 416-633-0001.

Answer: Botox and Restylane in the Heat!
It is not a problem, come on in! Matter of fact, you might sweat less after having the Botox!
