How many days I need to return to my face exercise after filler & botox?

Question

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

Botox works by relaxing dynamic muscles that cause wrinkles. If you try to activate those muscles through facial exercises immediately after Botox injections, it may improve the efficacy of Botox. However, continued facial muscle movement will cause the Botox to wear off sooner. Please consult with a board-certified dermatologist who can help you with your anti-aging concerns.

Thank you for your question.  Though the best advice would require knowledge of the type of filler placed, in most cases you can return to facial exercises within 24 hours of your procedure.  Hope this helps.

Botox works by relaxing the dynamic muscles that cause wrinkles. If you then try to activate them through exercise and succeed, they will once again compress the skin and create creases and wrinkles. In other words, I don't recommend facial exercises at all after Botox treatments. Regular body exercise will be fine after 24 hours. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in Botox to learn how to get the most out of your neuromodulator treatment.

You do not need to do exercises after Botox injections. In fact, constant facial injections will make your Botox relax.  For the best cosmetic results please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

It is not advisable to do any facial exercises after Botox injections. Doing these exercises will decrease the duration of your Botox injections. You may resume regular exercise 24 hours after injections.
