Is Botox Safe for Patient with Vitiligo?
I have vitiligo, and I want to get Botox. Are there any side effects to expect?
I did have a couple injections of Restylane on my upper lip and didn't have any issues. I don't get sick very often.

Botox and Vitiligo
As the other practitioners have pointed out, there is no problem having Botox injected because you have Vitiligo.
In general, we screen for a history of neuromuscular disorders and autoimmune diseases.

No Problem
There should be not problem with vitiligo and Botox. Not that I can think of anyway Botox would help vitiligo either. Botox seems to be in the news for treating a myriad of conditons from hair loss to oily skin, but not the vexing condition called vitiligo.

Dear Molly 1982,
You should feel very comfortable proceeding with Botox injection. There are no side effects or contraindications associated with Botox injections and people with vitiligo.

No, not at all.
Thank you for your question.
Botox is completely safe in patients with vitiligo. There are no reasons at all to suspect any change in your vitiligo and you should feel completely comfortable getting Botox done.
Hope this helps!

Botox and Vitiligo
Its safe. You are at no more risk of getting side effects than a person without vitiligo. Just avoid too much sun for a few days after getting botox.
