Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox)
There are some thoughts that excess Vitamin E may be associated with bleeding which could interfered with Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) injections. otherwise I am not aware of any other Vitamin interactions.

Vitamins before Botox
Stopping vitamins prior to Botox injections, especially those that include blood thinning properties (Vit E, etc) is beneficial to reduce the risk of bruising. There is some evidence, although less than scientific as of today, that Zinc supplements can decrease the gap between injection and effective results as well as improving total effectiveness of the drug....but the real scientific verdict is out.

Botox works for peri ocular wrinkles
Vitamins will not affect the longevity of the result after botox injections. Just keep in mind that large doses of vitamin E may increase the risk of bruising. Normal doses (daily requirements) will not alter anything.

Vitamins - Botox
In general, I'd recommend stopping any medications that can cause increased bleeding or bruising. Vitamin E and other herbal medications can potentially cause you to have more bruising after your treatment.

Vitamins do not affect Botox
There has been no evidence of which I am aware that the effectiveness of Botox or Dysport is affected by vitamins. You might avoid separate vitamin E supplements prior to the injections to minimize bruising but that is not related to the Botox specifically.

Vitamins and Botox
Daily intake of multivitamins have not been shown to affect the longevity of Botox, once injected. The only vitamin you may wish to stop taking about 10 days before the day of your Botox injection is Vitamin E. Vitamin E can predispose you to bruising easily.
You also have to be careful to look at herbal, naturopathic and homeopathic preparations that may affect your ability to clot effectively so that you could bruise easily at the time of your Botox treatment.

Botox & vitamins
There is no known inter action between Botox & multivitamins. They have nothing to do with its effectiveness , or duration of action. As suggested by my colleagues, you may want to stop vitamin E supplements, if you are taking them separately. Large doses of vitamin E might increase the incidence of bruising with the injection, but they have nothing to do with the BOTOX itself.

Vitamins and Botox injections..
Vitamins won't affect the result of the Botox injections, meaning you should get the same results and the duration of the results shouldn't be affected. But some Vitamins will increase the risks of bruising after Botox injections. I would stop any anti inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen base medication as well as Vit E and Fish oil. You can stop those one week prior to your Botox injections.

Vitamins Affect Botox
Only if you are concerned about possible increased bruising (from Vitamin E's or some supplement). Discuss with the injecting doctor prior to the Botox injections. Or better yet STOP them for ONLY your peace of mind.

Vitamins are OK to take when getting Botox
You do not have to stop taking vitamins before Botox treatments. Some vitamins can increase chances of bruising, but bruises are not usually a significant problem with Botox injections. Only stop taking all your vitamins before the injections (2 weeks) if you are concerned about bruising.

Vitamins do not effect botox. But zinc may.
I do not believe that there is any evidence that vitamins effect the potency of Botox. As mentioned by Dr. Galadari, Vitamin E can thin the blood and increase your chance of bruising.
There is some very early research that shows that zinc may, possibly, increase the effect of Botox. There is a new prescription medication called Zytase which is a combination of zinc and an enzyme that increases your ability to absorb zinc. It is designed to help increase the effect of...

Vitamins do not affect Botox
With the exception of Vitamin E, maybe causing bruising due to its effect on blood clotting, vitamins do not affect the longevity of Botox whatsoever.
