Resuming Normal Routines After Botox and Juvederm?
Anytime strenuous activity happens after a procedure there is an increased risk of bleeding. Generally, injectables have a low incidence of post-procedure bleeding. In our Bay Area office we advise patients to not engage in strenuous activity for 48 hours after Botox or injectables.
Clinical Context
Bruising after Botox or filler happens when a small vessel under the skin is nicked by the needle. Exercise or heavy lifting raises blood pressure, which can make bruising larger or more noticeable. With filler, movement or swelling in the first day or two may also cause slight shifting before the product settles into place. Avoiding strenuous activity for a short time afterward helps reduce both bruising and unwanted movement of filler.
