Dos And Don’ts After Botox

What can you not do after Botox injections? You can do anything after Botox injections. So you hear a lot of myths that you're not supposed to lie down, not supposed to exercise, not supposed to push on the air, not supposed to get hot. It's all BS. Botox has actually been around for about 60 years. It's been FDA approved for wrinkles for about 20 years. So the common things you might hear about would be don't push on the area or don't massage the area after Botox. Theoretically it would have faster uptake by moving the air, massage the area or exercising the area. The uptake of Botox takes roughly 12 to 17 minutes. When we inject Botox into the muscle, there's a basically a push of those fluid into the muscle is get pulled up by the muscle end plate and a half of it is done at about 10 minutes and about 17 minutes.
