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.

Don't foresee any problems with Botox for vitiligo patient

Botx injection is very safe for patients with VITILIGO. I don't think you will have any problems I will be exremely comfortable to inject patients with Vitilgo with Botox

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.

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. Regards
