Just had Botox and wondering when you can hit the gym again? You’re not alone — this is one of the most common questions I get in clinic.
Here’s everything you need to know (without the jargon):
Avoid Exercise for the First 24 Hours
After your Botox treatment, it’s best to avoid:
- The gym
- Running or cardio
- Weightlifting
- Hot yoga or anything that gets you sweating
Why? Because physical activity increases blood flow, which can cause the Botox to move from where it was injected — and that’s not what we want.
Sweating Can Reduce Results
Excess heat, sweat, and increased circulation can interfere with how Botox settles. Think of it like giving your skin a quiet moment to do its thing.
So for the first 24 hours, take it easy. A little Netflix and rest never hurt anyone 😉
Gentle Movement Is Okay
You don’t need to stay still all day — walking, stretching, or gentle movement is fine. Just avoid anything intense.
Quick Tip from Liam
The better your aftercare, the better your results. One rest day = months of smoother, fresher-looking skin.
