Is Botox Safe for Patient with Vitiligo?

Question

I have vitiligo, and I want to get Botox. Are there any side effects to expect?I did have a couple injections of Restylane on my upper lip and didn't have any issues. I don't get sick very often.

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

As the other practitioners have pointed out, there is no problem having Botox injected because you have Vitiligo.

	In general, we screen for a history of neuromuscular disorders and autoimmune diseases.

I have never heard of a complication from Botox in a vitiligo patient any more than in any other patient.
My suggestion would be to proceed and enjoy.

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no contraindication for Botox in patients with vitiligo.  Botox is a very safe medication when used by trained professionals.  Good luck with your injections.

Tanveer Janjua, MD · Answer

Its safe. You are at no more risk of getting side effects than a person without vitiligo. Just avoid too much sun for a few days after getting botox.
