Question

I take biotin and acidophilus supplement vitamins daily. Would I be able to still take these and Paxil antidepressant and a birth control patch without negatively affecting the juvaderm lip fillers? I want to make sure they won’t affect the filler or make them last a shorter time

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes it is fine to take these supplements and medication while receiving lip fillers.  There should be no negative impact on your treatment or results from doing so.  Be sure to discuss all medications and supplements you take with your injector.

In general, taking biotin and acidophilus supplements, as well as Paxil (an antidepressant) and using a birth control patch, should not negatively affect the results or longevity of Juvederm lip fillers. These supplements and medications do not typically interfere with hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Biotin: There is no known interaction between biotin supplements and dermal fillers.

Acidophilus: This probiotic supplement should not interfere with fillers.

Paxil (Paroxetine): While Paxil is not known to interact with fillers, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, as they may have considerations specific to your health history.

Birth Control Patch: Hormonal contraceptives are not known to affect dermal fillers.

It is always essential to discuss all medications and supplements you are taking with your healthcare provider or the professional administering the fillers. They can provide personalized advice and ensure that you receive the safest and most effective treatment. Additionally, follow any pre- and post-procedure instructions they provide to optimize your results and minimize any potential side effects.
