I have heard that I should avoid hot yoga for a few days if not a week after having a botox treatment on my forehead and 11's. Is that true?
Answer: Botox and Yoga Typically it is recommended that a patient not continuously bend over for 4 hours just after having botox or any neurotoxin. The reason we recommend this is in the rare occassion of migration. We do not want botox to migrate into a muscle that was not intended to be treated. Thank you for your great question.

Answer: Activity after Botox injection. I recommend that all of my Botox patient's abstain from intense physical activity for at least 24 hours following injection. The main concern here is the risk of toxin migration which could cause paralysis of the muscles around the eye or drooping of the eyelid. Waiting several days to several weeks seems excessive to me. Good lock and thank you for your question.

Answer: Activity level after treatment with Botox For the first 3 hours after treatment with Botox, lying down flat and vigorous activity should be avoided. However after the first 3 hours, there are no restrictions on your activity and there will be no effect on your final result.

Answer: Botox and hot yoga Thank you for your question. I typically tell my patients that if they are not bruised by the following day, then they can resume all activities. If they are bruised, and I cautioned them to wait another day or two and ensure that the bruises not enlarging.

Answer: Yoga after Botox I recommend 24 hours before yoga, aerobic exercise, etc. I worry about washing out of the Botox if your face becomes too flush with bloodflow.
