I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding CBD oil and Botox treatments. This should be fine. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

However, if CBD oil is like flax seed oil, then yes it might make bruising worse.  If you want to be certain of avoiding a bruise, stop this product for at least 3 weeks.  It can take that long for the platelet function to recover.

You should consult your doctor as we all have different protocols, but I don't think you will have a problem getting your Botox treatment while taking CBD oil. Best of luck.

Neil Sadick, MD · Answer

Yes you shouldn't have any issues with having botox and taking CBD oil. They won't interact and/or affect each other.

Thank you for
your question ronin2017. Botox is a
purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. With any injection there is a risk for bruising. For this reason I recommend that my patients who are on any medications that may cause bruising discontinue for a few days before and after the treatment if possible. Please consult
with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
