I had a shingles shot and a flu shot yesterday. Can I have a cosmetic Botox treatment today?

We don’t know the effects of a shingles injection and Botox injection timing. I would advise being safe and waiting a week.

Dear realm1Thank you for your question!  The immunization injections can give some pain and feeling of unwell- BOTOX can occasionally give you a headache and flu like symptoms ( related to the needle)!  With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

I see no reason why you shouldn’t receive Botox.   The vaccinations should not affect the Botox.   Good luck!

Your vaccinations should not interfere with your Botox treatment, so you should be able to get them as planned. That said don't hesitate to address your questions and concerns with your registered nurse injector. Also, always best to disclose any medication you are taking or current medical conditions to your provider just to be on the safe side.

You should be able to receive your Botox treatment as planned. There is no known contraindication for receiving Botox treatment following a shingles and flu vaccine. Best wishes.

I am not aware of influenza and shingles vaccines interfering with Botox, or vice versa. If your doctor gives the green light, consider going for it. Dr Joseph

Dear realm1, Thank you for your question. A shingles vaccine and flu shot should not negatively affect your botox procedure. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for sharing your question.  Yes, there should not be any issue with a botox treatment today.

There should be no interaction between the Shingles and Flu vaccines and Botox, so in my opinion, it would be fine to have a Botox treatment a day after you had your vaccines.

Your shingles and flu shot should not have any effect on the results or duration from your Botox treatment.  Full results from your Botox should be seen in 7-14 days.
