I got Botox for the first time in my "11" wrinkles in between my eyebrows due to me over using that face muscle during sleep. I did notice a slight improvement the next morning. I went to hot yoga (105 degrees with 40% humidity) 24 hrs after and I had a headache after but figured I would take Advil and not worry. When I woke up this morning I feel like my wrinkles are back. Did I sweat it out or allow it to go in an area where I can have side effects?

Answer: Hot Yoga After Botox Thank you for your question. I always suggest to my patients to avoid strenuous exercise for 1 day after Botox injections. This is to avoid the Botox from shifting. Please contact your treating physician if you have any concerns.

Answer: Hot Yoga after Botox Thank you for your question lulu9856. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. After a Botox treatment I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours and avoid lying flat for 4 hours. The pivotal studies demonstrated that the peak effects of Botox are seen 14 days after the treatment. In our office we have our patients return at that time to assess the results. Patience is important. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
