Question

Babak Azizzadeh, MD · Answer

As long as your condition is stable, you should be able to undergo Botox injections for cosmetic purposes with no problems. It's a great idea to consult with your physician before hand.

to having Botox treatment with Sarcoidosis. Make sure you see a qualified DOCTOR to discuss this before considering treatment. Dentists, Nurses and beauticians do not have the depth of training to give you an informed choice. Good luck!

Ramona Behshad, MD · Answer

There is no known issue with sarcoid and botulinum toxin. Therefore, your potential for side effects is the same as anyone else who receives botulinum toxin. I would certainly have a board certified physician provide your treatment.

	While botulinum toxin is fine, I would hesitate to receive fillers in the future. They have a known risk (while small) of causing inflammatory reactions that mimic sarcoid.

Jacque P. LeBeau, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question.

	There are no contraindications to receiving botox injections into the forehead in individuals with sarcoidosis.  Botox works extremely well in the forehead when placed appropriately and I am sure you will be happy with the result. 
	Best Regards,
