Juvederm (lips fillers) and Botox (forehead). Can I be exposed to sun and ocean water?

Great question and concern. There is no issue with sun exposure and ocean water after botox and fillers. I usually recommend taking it easy for 24 hours but other than that I tell my clients to go on with their life. I really have no science to explain all the restrictions that come on the brochure of either of them. My only reasoning for easy first 24 hours is to let the needle holes to settle down a bit - again not much science behind that. I say: enjoy the life after the botox and fillers. 

Thank you for your post. Sun exposure and ocean water will not interfere with the Botox or lip filler treatment received the day prior. I would recommend using an SPF, avoid laying flat for 4 hours post Botox treatment, and any exercise or lifting more than 5 lbs for 24 hours after treatment. Best of luck!

It is fine to be in the sun and the ocean a day after Botox and fillers.  Remember to use your sunscreen.  Enjoy your time at the beach!

Thank you for your excellent question.  You can be exposed to the sun and ocean one day after receiving Juvederm and Botox.  Please be sure to wear your SPF.  I recommend that my patients avoid bending, heavy lifting and strenuous activities such as going to the gym for 24 hours after injectable treatment.  Hope this helps and best wishes! 

Hello and thank you for your question. You should be fine. I wouldn't lay flat or do any excessive exercise for 24 hours. Sun and Ocean water should be okay. Make sure you protect your investment by wearing sunscreen.
