Botox and Fillers with SLE

Theodore Katz, 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.

Under most circumstances the Botox and fillers are safe if you are in remission or well controlled.  However, I usually will discuss this with the treating physician for the SLE to be sure that it is safe and to keep them informed as to what is being done so that if there is a problem it is addressed early.
