I have an appointment to get my regular Botox done tomorrow. I usually go about my usual day afterwards, but skip the gym that night. My doc says it’s fine (even for vigorous exercise) after 4 hours, but I’m one of those people that likes to get a second (or third or fourth) opinion. Meanwhile, it just dawned on me that tomorrow is also the day I committed to interview at a gym I’d like to teach at by putting on a cardio bootcamp class. Injections at 8:30am, class at 6pm. Safe?
Answer: Botox After 4 hours the Botox has settled in the muscle. I tell patients to wait 12 hours for vigorous exercise, just to be safe. If you are conservative I’d suggest moving your Botox appointment for peace of mind.

Answer: Botox and exercising Hi @aps1031! I would avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours following Botox treatment. Strenuous activity after your Botox treatment can cause the product to move and may affect your final results. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Exercise after Botox Hello and thanks for the question. In most cases, four hours is sufficient time to wait before engaging in vigorous exercise after Botox. I agree with your doctor that you should be ready for your classes by that evening. Good luck to you!

Answer: Exercising after Botox Thank you for your question aps1031. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.
