How Soon After Botox® Can I Workout? | Forefront Dermatology
Summary
The article discusses the timing of exercise after receiving Botox® injections, a popular cosmetic treatment for reducing wrinkles and addressing various medical conditions. Dermatologist Dr. Saundra Seaman advises avoiding exercise for 24 hours post-injection to prevent the Botox® from shifting due to gravity. She shares a personal anecdote about the risks of exercising too soon after treatment. The key takeaway is that while resuming exercise the day after Botox® is generally safe, individual circumstances may vary, and caution is recommended.
Botox® is the most popular cosmetic surgery treatment - with over six million treatments administered every year to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botox® is also used to treat such problems as repetitive neck spasms, excessive sweating, overactive bladder and lazy eye. A common question our dermatologists are asked regarding Botox® injections is how soon after Botox® injections can you workout?

Heavy aerobic activity will cause the Botox® injections to move down with gravity. When I was in residency, I injected myself with Botox® and then went jogging. Trust me, it can move! I learned that lesson the hard way! Give yourself a full day of rest. Resuming the following day shouldn’t cause any problems.”
