Is exercise risky after filler injections for wrinkles?

I allow my patients to resume normal day-day-day activities immediately after Botox and Filler injections. I ask them to avoid strenuous activity or vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours after the treatment. This helps to minimize swelling/bruising as well as the unwanted potential for neuromodulator spread. This is advice I give to my patients, please discuss with your expert injector first though.

I appreciate your question and concern. It is a good idea to refrain from rigorous exercise for the first 48 hours after an injectable treatment to minimize your risk of some side effects. At that time, you are welcome to engage in any activity you would like, with the exception of facial massage, as the filler or neuromodulator settles into the tissue relatively quickly. Make sure the person performing your treatment is an experienced, board-certified injector who has the expertise to produce an optimal outcome and advise you on how to proceed after your treatment.

Dear Ssally,
Thank you for your question. I typically recommend my patients to avoid exercise for 24 hours following treatment. Otherwise, they may resume normal activities afterward. Your exercise routine has long as you are not applying heavy pressure to the treated areas should not significantly affect your treatment results. Some more athletic patients do have a tendency to reabsorb injectable products more quickly than others. I recommend you seek consultation with an experienced injector who can perform a thorough evaluation and directly address your questions and concerns.
