I would recommend you ask the doctor performing the Botox injections. Everyone has their set of recommendations. In my office, I usually recommend patients wait 1-2 days after Botox before doing vigorous exercise.
Thank you very muchfor your question. In general, it is recommended that you postpone vigorousactivity and exercise for at least 24 hours after yourBotox injections. However, every surgeon has their own set of recoveryprotocols, so he/she may recommend a different plan. I suggest speaking withyour board certified plastic surgeon for clear recovery instructions andinformation on when they recommend resuming exercise.
Botox settles within the muscle just a few minutes after its injected. Therefore, I usually advise my patients to avoid strenuous exercise for a hour or so. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at using Botox to relieve your wrinkles.
I typically ask my patients not exercise for at least 24 hrs after Botox injection and not to massage the area area for at least 4 hours after the injection.
Thank you for sharing your question. It is probably safe to exercise 4 to 6 hours after being injected. Try not to the rub the area as well for several hours. Good luck.
I recommend waiting 24 hours before participating in this type of exercise. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. Hope this helps.
It really is not a question of safety. Some think that strenuous exercise can reduce the effectiveness of the product as it increase the blood flow systemically. In my experience the next day is safe to return to your regular workout routine. Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC
Hi, and thank you for your question. As you are talking about strenuous activity, I would advise that you wait at least 24 hours after your procedure before you begin exercising, however the clinic where you receive treatment may specify longer. Please check with them for any specific aftercare protocols. I wish you all the best.
Yoga and upside-down positions won’t dislodge your Botox, but they might make your injection sites swell. Give your face a rest for about a day after Botox or dermal fillers. I advise against any strenuous exercise or inverted positions for at least 24 hours. A board-certified dermatologist will give you post-care guidelines so you’re clear about what you can and cannot do.
We recommend no strenuous exercise for 24 hours after receiving Botox, anytime after that would be safe.
