I purchased a sauna for detox purposes and I'm wondering how long I should wait to use it after getting Botox injections. I understand that heat can have an effect, and I'm curious if there's a different recommended waiting time compared to exercise (which I know is 24 hours). Additionallyes anyone know if an infrared sauna affects fillers? I've done extensive research but haven't been able to find answers to these specific questions.
Hello, thank you for your question. After Botox treatment, I generally advise patients to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and ibuprofen for 24 hours. It's also recommended to avoid steam rooms, saunas, and jacuzzis during this time to minimize the risk of swelling and bruising. The heat itself will not damage the Botox.
Dear, it is possible for Botox to be slightly affected if you engage in treatments or activities immediately after. It is advisable to wait at least 4 hours after injections before manipulating your facial muscles or participating in activities such as sauna, swimming, yoga, or running. Best regards.
Sauna use should not affect the results of Botox or filler treatments. However, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after injections to minimize the risk of excess swelling. The same recommendation applies to resuming exercise.
Heat, heavy exercise, and activities that increase venous pressure may affect the distribution of Botox within the first 24 hours. It's important to follow post-treatment instructions to optimize results.
