Q: Can I exercise after my BOTOX® Cosmetic injections?
A: It is usually recommended that you do not exercise ~24 hours following BOTOX® injections. There are several reasons to avoid physical activity during that time frame as physical activity will increase your heart rate and blood pressure, which could lead to the migration of BOTOX® to surrounding areas not intended to receive the product, and may cause an adverse reaction. Also, exercise could increase/worsens any bruising or swelling that may have occurred at the time of injection.
