A clinician says saunas, hot tubs, and heat exposure are safe right after Botox because the toxin gets absorbed quickly and isn't floating around in your system. Blow-drying your hair and sun exposure are fine too.

Questions this video answers

Yes. The clinician states you can sauna or use a hot tub after Botox; heat does not meaningfully affect Botox uptake and no clinical issues are expected.

Talk again about the heat. Can you go into a sauna? Can you go into a hot tub?
So let's say you did your Botox and immediately you got no sauna. It would arguably uptake faster. Okay? Since you're probably not going to sauna for half an hour, you have. You'll have no clinical issues for sure. You can sauna after Botox. You can blow dry your hair outside, you can get hot, you can go out in the sun. I'm here. Don't go on the side of Botox. That's all nonsense. Now, it hasn't kicked in yet, okay? But it's been already taken up. It's no longer floating around so that there's no issues with that.
What about lying down?
I like.
That one a lot.
Yeah. So really, when they originally did the Botox, FDA study was in the 80s and 90s and they had people not lie down just for a reference point. Okay? Turns out it makes no difference. It cannot affect the outcome of Botox, the complication of Botox, the effectiveness of Botox. You can lay down after your Botox.
