Do dermal fillers & Botox aggravate eczema?

Question

Should someone with eczema avoid dermal filler and Botox?

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

There is currently limited research on the effects of dermal fillers and Botox, specifically on eczema-prone skin. However, both of these treatments work by injecting substances beneath the skin, which can potentially disrupt the skin's barrier and cause an inflammatory response, especially in individuals with sensitive or compromised skin.

Vibha Gambhir, MD · Answer

Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. There is no contradiction between getting filler or Botox injections itself. The swabbing of the skin to cleanse prior to getting the injections may cause a little irritation to the skin, but nothing that should prevent you from getting treatment. Good luck on your journey!
