Reasons why you shouldn't exercise on the day of Botox treatment

 

It is important to avoid vigorous exercise after Botox.

The reason?

 

1️⃣ Rise in body temperature and increased blood flow 🔥

When you exercise, your body temperature rises and blood flow increases.

Botox is highly likely to spread from its original location.

Increased risk of side effects (may spread to areas other than the treatment site)
- Reduced effectiveness (may be broken down before Botox can work properly)

 

2️⃣ Possibility of worsening swelling and bruising 💢

After a Botox procedure, mild swelling or bruising may occur.
Exercising can cause blood pressure to rise and may worsen swelling.

 

3️⃣ Physical pressure 🚫

Especially while doing weight training

When adopting a posture that presses down on the face (such as bench press, push-up, etc.)
Botox spreading may cause asymmetrical effects. 😨
