Can I get Botox after having taken Tetralysal for cystic acne?

Thank you for your question.  You should be just fine to proceed with Botox treatment.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes! 

I recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for your Botox treatment so that the injection can be performed by someone qualified with proper technique. However, based on the information you have provided, your known risks of adverse side effects from Botox treatment should not be changed by the acne treatment.  

Yes, you can proceed with the Botox treatment to the glabella wrinkles. Your recent antibiotic treatment and cortisone injection will not interfere or react with the Botox.

Yes, it's absolutely okay for you to get Botox treatment. The prior antibiotic treatment will have no effect on your Botox results. Good luck!

There is no known contraindication to use Botox after or even during acne treatment with antibiotics. There is some evidence, that acne can even improve in the are where Botox was injected. So go ahead and get it if you feel that you need it, to prevent your frown lines from getting deeper.

You should be able to have Botox injections with no problem after the treatment you have had for acne

Hi Tara,
Although there are 376 drugs that have possible interactions with Botox, the one you were concerned about, Tetralysal, isn't one of them. Hyrdocortisone injection or oral prednisone also don't have any effect on Botox effects or metabolism.
It's okay - it's safe to have a beautiful line-free face with Botox!
All the best,
