Aseptic Technique For Fillers in Lupus Patients

Tanveer Janjua, MD answers: Is Botox and Restylane safe for patient under Lupus medication?

I have had Lupus for 26 years and this is under control with Prednislone and Azathioprine. Could you tell me if there are any condraindications with Restylane and Botox? Thank you.

The risk of poor immunity leading to infection is the main issue with Lupus patients on the usual drugs.

You should always remind your physician about your condition and insist on a very strict aseptic technique. For example, usually we clean the skin with alcohol wipes, for someone like you I would use Betadine to clean it even more.

Regards.
