I do recommend refraining from overheating via exercise, hair dryers or saunas for 24 hours after the injection of Botox or dermal fillers such as Voluma, Sculptra and Restylane. After that, there is no danger in the heat having any effect on their efficacy. I hope this helps.
Hi and thank you for your question! I always advise my patients to be more careful and avoid vigorous exercise or other activities associated with increased metabolism or precipitation within the first 24 hours following Botox and filler injections, but beyond that time period there shouldn't be any issues and you can resume routine activities without concerns. I hope it helps and good luck!
No, steam and/or sauna will not negatively impact your results. It is generally advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after injections. Best, Dr. Emer
Hello and thank you for your question. Steam rooms nor saunas should effect the lifespan of any of the neurotoxins or dermal fillers. Typically it's recommended no physical exercise for the first day after you get injections. Hope this helps, Dr. S.

You're doctor should have either verbally covored, or provided a written copy of the post care instructions. The rule of thumb is to avoid sweating for 24 hours, exercise, hot tubs, massages etc.
From our prospective, steam nor sauna's should affect the lifespan of the treatments that you mentioned in your question. We tell all of our patients, to avoid some exercises, especially Yoga right after treatments. We recommend an exercise free period of 24 hours after a treatment for maximum results.

Hi and thank you for your question! I am not aware of any studies investigating the impacts of Blue Light therapy on Botox, although I do not think it's very likely to have any sizeable negative effects. Still, being an elective procedure, there is no harm in being extra cautious and...
Hi and thank you for your question! While the gauge of needle has little bearing on the results of the Botox treatment, going with lower gauge (i.e. thinker needle) causes unnecessary discomfort and increased risk of bruising, so Botox injection should be done with the finest needle...
When you have a very strong glabellar line and a deep furrow you may need combination therapy. If you have a very strong muscle and have had a depression of your tissue using filters such as Restylane, Voluma or Juvederm will be helpful. Often times paralyzing the muscle is not enough. Care...
Hi and thank you for your question! Since you just had Botox 4 days ago, you still need to wait as it can take as much as 2 weeks for the full results of the Botox the final look to settle. At that time if you are still having problems, it can be easily fixed by small touch ups and it would...
