When can I workout hard after Botox and can I sleep orally after the first night, i.e. on my tummy ?
I'm so worried about my botox as I am a day after. I just want to do my normal routines, skin care exercise and so on. I'm even worried about touching my face and sleeping normally. Please let me know what I can and cant do.

Hi javra. There's no need to worry excessively
about your activity level after BOTOX. In fact, it's generally safe to return
to your normal activities — including working out — the day after your
treatment. Sleep, wash your face, exercise, and apply makeup without fear. Your
"downtime" is over!
The only after care would be not to
exercise or get your heart rate above 100
for the first 90 minutes. After that you are able to do anything you want. This should
be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist with expertise
in this area.
Thank you for your question.
You can return to your normal exercise routine 24- 48 hour after your treatment. The same goes for your skin care routine. You may cleanse your face just use a light hand for the first few days. Follow your physicians instructions and you should not have any issues.
Good luck!

Each provider may have slightly different post care instructions so it is important to know before leaving the office. Do not lay down 4 hours after botox has been injected, also no strenuous activities for 24 hours post injections. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.
I hope this helps.

Many doctors have slightly different suggestions regards this. Generally speaking, we do not recommend any strong facial pressure (massage on the face) for about 3-4 days or vigorous exerviceses for 24 hrs.
Nost of these recommendations are not set in stone but are based on experience.
I hope that helps and p[lease give your doctor a call to confirm these.

Patients who undergo treatment with Botox have activity limitations for about four hours after the procedure. That means staying upright (i.e., no laying on your belly) and no strenuous activity for 4 hours. However, the day after your treatment, you can resume life as usual.
I am surprised you did not discuss the post-Botox instructions with your doctor. The prohibitions are only for around 4 hours immediately after the injection, not two days later. Its important to have proper communication with your doctor before you undergo an elective medical procedure.
Not to fear! If you are already one day post procedure you are cleared to resume your regular daily activities.
We advise our patients to not lay flat for 4 hours post treatment.

I recommend to my patients not to do strenuous exercise for about 4 hours after Botox injections. The same amount of time should be aloud before sleeping on your stomach.
Hope this helps,

If you are one day out from botox, you have no restrictions! There are no concerns with sleeping, exercise, etc.
