I'm getting Botox on forehead, 11's, temporalis, & jaw. I've read you shouldn't exercise 24-48 hours after to reduce risk of migration. I'm getting Botox at 4:30 PM & work early the next morning. My job is physically active and requires some heavy lifting throughout the day, cleaning, bending, setting up/breaking down folding tables, etc. Is this kind of activity considered to be exercise that should be avoided for 24-48 hrs post-treatment? Am I at risk for migration? Should I take off next day?
