Can I have Botox injections if I do contact sports?

Thank you for your question. Yes, it can it can impact your results. We suggest refraining from contact sports for 3 days. Regards, 

You can definitely have Botox if you do contact sports. Though immediately after placement isn't recommended. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in this to make sure it is injected appropriately. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox will not travel shortly after injections are performed. The molecules are thought to quickly bind to surrounding tissue. One would not expect contact sports to cause issues with this although it may be wise to wait several hours after treatment.

Botox should not be injected on the day of a contact sport because potential injury swelling may cause the botox to diffuse to an unwanted area.  Botox should also not be injected while there is swelling in the areas to be injected.  After 24 hours from injection, there is no risk what so ever.

Yes. Botox can be performed in physically active people without any problems. Good luck with your search. Best of luck. Dr. Hyans. 

Contact sports are safe following Botox injections. I recommend to wait 90 minutes after Botox injections before resuming sports as it takes that long to bind to the muscle.. After that, there’s no risk of Botox moving somewhere unwanted.

Hi Mateo, you can definitely do contact sports after Botox. I would wait for 2-3 after the injection but, beyond that, you should be fine.

Thank
you for your question. The tissue surrounding your injection sites absorbs the
botulinum toxin right away, so there's no need to worry about it moving to
another area. However, contact sports can result in unexpected injury — and any
potential swelling to the areas that have been injected could complicate matters.
Out of an abundance of caution, I would recommend waiting a day or 2 before
getting back on the field. Good luck to you!

You can definitely do Botox if you do sports but I would suggest you not doing any exercise of that type for 3 days after your Botox injections.  Best, Dr. Green

There is absolutely no reason you cannot do contact sports after Botox injections. You should refrain though during the first 48-72 hours.
