What is the max number of units suggested for the following areas on men: Forehead Glabella Crow's Feet Jelly Nose Tip Lift Lip Flip Masseters 2. I received Botox on Friday at 12pm. 3+ days later, on Monday at 7pm, I worked out on the treadmill for 20 minutes and went into the steamroom for several minutes. Is this safe?
