There are no restrictions to botox injections after treatment. I have found it makes no difference either way. Best, Dr. Emer.
As a trainer for Botox for many years, I will tell you that it's been over 10 years since we stopped teaching physicians to tell their patients not to lie down or bend over after Botox injections. This rule made no sense since it would move AWAY from your eyes, not towards them if you did these things. Unfortunately most physicians are not up to date with this change in instruction so they keep telling their patients not to do these things.The only no-no after Botox is not to rub the area for 4 hours, since rubbing toward the eyelids or lower forehead could spread the Botox to these muscles.As for exercise, it's a theory that heavy exercise on the day of your treatment can affect Botox, but as far as I know, it's not proven. So feel free to bend over, shop for shoes and do a headstand!
