Hello, and thank you for your question. Although there is no real downtime after BOTOX®, it’s best to give yourself a day off of strenuous exercise to see the best results. You’ll also want to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area during this time. After the first 24 hours or so, it should be fine to resume your regular workout routine. If you have specific questions about the development of your results, don’t hesitate to give your provider a call.
There is no evidence that bending over or exercise adversely affects the results or causes drifting of the product after neurotoxin or filler. For some reason these myths have been perpetuated by providers without substantial evidence or scientific backing.You can bend or exercise after having these treatments.
In my practice we recommend waiting 4-6 hours for any type of exercise that may increase your heart rate. Each injector has their own recommendations, but increased activity directly after treatment may create diffusion of the toxin to unintended muscle groups!
