Hyperhydrosis - Excessive Sweating Treatment Aftercare FAQ's
Botulinum Toxin is a safe procedure that doesn’t have much impact on someone’s usual activity, regardless if it’s the day of the injection or days after the injection. Here at Bromley Aesthetics, we deliver small injections to the targeted area, and this results in excessive movement. As time goes by, the movements create dynamic wrinkles.
However, we do recommend doing these things after you have gotten the procedure:
- Do not rub or massage the affected area for at least four hours after the procedure
- Do not engage in strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Remain upright for four hours
- Do not wear tightly fitted headwear
- Try no to consume excessive amounts of alcohol or use blood-thinning medication before you undergo the procedure
Generally speaking, you can engage in your normal activities right after the treatment. However, you should only do light exercising after four hours of receiving the treatment. We recommend avoiding all strenuous activities for at least 24 hours.
After four hours have passed, you can do exercises such as: Jogging, Walking, Gardening, Upright yoga
You should avoid doing the following for at least 24 hours: Long-distance running, Weight training, Yoga (other than upright yoga), Cross-training

- Bumps- After a few minutes following treatment, small bumps might appear. However, they disappear rather quickly.
- Bruising- Some people might experience minor bruising. The majority of patients don’t experience this.
- Headaches- Allergic reactions to Botox are rare. However, some people might experience a temporary headache shortly after receiving the injection. Many patients describe these headaches as minor. Generally speaking, most headaches can be treated with over-the-counter painkillers.
