This is my first time getting Botox. How long should I wait between exercising and drinking after the procedure?
I am finally going next week to get the square jaw Botox I've been putting off! It's my first time getting Botox in my life, so I'm excited, but also a bit worried. I'm curious about the precautions after the procedure. Generally, for how many days should I avoid exercise or alcohol to be safe? I enjoy going to the gym every weekend to work up a sweat and I tend to hang out with friends often, so I'm planning to make a plan in advance.
I've looked it up online and am confused because some say I only need to be careful on the day of the procedure, while others say I should abstain from alcohol for a week for optimal results. I've also heard that high-intensity weight training can cause the medication to spread; is that true? If there are any members with extensive experience with Botox, I'd like to know how many days of rest you actually took. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could let me know if I should avoid saunas or steam rooms immediately after the procedure!
