Yes, you can exercise before getting Botox. However, it’s recommended that you do so at least a few hours before your treatment12.
This is because an elevated heart rate, pressure on your injection site, and frequent changes in your head position during exercise could potentially cause issues with your treatment12.
After your Botox treatment, you should avoid exercise for anywhere between a day to a week12. This is to prevent the Botox from shifting into the wrong position or diffusing and spreading to surrounding muscles, which could reduce the effectiveness of your Botox results12.
Remember to consult with your injection specialist if you have any specific concerns surrounding exercise and Botox12. They can provide you with a list of activities to avoid after the Botox injection2.
