I have Multple Sclerosis. Do I run the risk of having a MS attack if I do Botox and Restylane I would be having the Botox and Restylane done on my facial crows feet and area around my mouth. I'm concerned about injecting a foreign object into my skin possibly causing my immune system to go into overdrive and attack my body. Please advise me on this matter. Thank You
Answer: Botox and Restylane in patients with MS Restylane and similar fillers should be fine but Botox can be tricky. If MS causes some difficulty with speech or swallowing, Botox can possibly exacerbate it.

Answer: Ask your neurologist first This has not been a problem for my patients with M.S. I have checked with their neurologists prior to treating my patients and had their approval. You should ask your neurologist the same question and get his or her approval before you see a doctor for Botox and Restylane.

Answer: Botox, Restylane and Multiple Sclerosis I do not believe that Multiple Sclerosis is a contraindication to Botox or Restylane injections. In fact, Botox is sometimes used to treat the spasticity associated with MS. Other muscular conditions such as myasthenia gravis and Eaton-Lambert syndrome clearly are contraindications to Botox. If I were you or your dermatologist, I would probably check with your neurologist first before undergoing these procedures. He/she may or may not have other reasons for objecting to these treatments.

Answer: Botox and MS Although both of those materials are unlikely to cause an attack, since they act locally and have significant systemic effects, I would still advise against it since there is always a possibility. It would be a shame to have a MS attack because of a cosmetic procedure.
