Why should you not workout after Botox?
we will talk about “Why should you not workout after Botox” Exercising after Botox is not recommended for three main reasons:
1-) It puts pressure on the injection site :
After having Botox, your doctor will warn you not to touch your face for at least the first 5 hours.
Applying any pressure can cause the Botox to move from where it was injected. You should avoid touching your face because the area is still sensitive and may cause discomfort.
If you’re someone who often wipes sweat while exercising, you may be putting pressure on your face without even realizing it.
Additionally, certain activities, such as cycling or swimming, place pressure on injection sites, requiring head or facial equipment.
2-) Increases blood flow :
Strenuous exercise means your heart is really pumping. This is good for your cardiovascular system, but not so good for your Botox.
The increased blood flow can cause Botox diffusion from the initial injection site. As a result, it can temporarily paralyze surrounding muscles.
Increased blood pressure can cause bruising and swelling at the injection site.
