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!

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.
