Several articles claim that drinks made with collagen can eliminate the need for Botox. The brand Skinade, for example, has 7000mg of marine collagen per bottle. They say drinking these on a daily basis results in improved elasticity and the reduction of wrinkles. But how effective this could be. At about $425 for a 3-month supply, do you think it's worth the investment?

There are no contraindications for Botox treatments when one has a history of Herpetic lesions. If an active lesion or outbreak is present it is best to avoid injection until it is resolved. One can also get a script for an antiviral medication like Valtrex to suppress and prevent flare ups.
Botox is the most common cosmetic injectable being currently performed. If you are having Botox performed from a board certified dermatologist there are no associated risks of viruses or cancers.
