Can a Person Have Botox While on Accutane?

Many people continue to have acne breakouts well into adulthood, and therefore have to deal with lesions and wrinkles at the same time. There are no contraindications to using Accutane and Botox simultaneously. I hope this helps.

There are no contraindications to using these two products at the same time. Accutane treats the oil glands and follicles in the skin while Botox reaches the muscle. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out how to manage wrinkles and acne simultaneously.

It is perfectly safe to have Botox while on Accutane. Accutane is a problem with treatments that affect the surface of the skin because it makes the user photosensitive to lasers and susceptible to other epidermal (upper skin) injury (chemical peels, microdermabrasion and waxing included).
Botox is injected into the facial muscles, well below the surface of the skin and is not a problem while on Accutane. Good luck.

Yes, Botox is perfectly safe with Accutane. There is not contraindication to using Botox Cosmetic while underdoing treatment with Accutane. The main target of Accutane is the skin, while the Botox works on the underlying muscles. The two medications do not interact and will not affect each other.

Areil, It is perfectly safe to get BOTOX while you are on Accutane except for one note of concern. Accutane is associated with a dry eye. If you are treated with BOTOX too aggressively, this can have an impact on the eyes ability to close appropriately. Under this circumstance, you might have a significantly increase in dry eye symptoms possibly requiring very active use of artificial tears and bedtime ointment.
Make sure that the doctor doing your BOTOX is aware of the fact that you are on Accutane and is prepared to manage your dry eye symptoms if necessary. Avoid treatment to the lower eyelid. Your best bet is to find someone with a large experience treating with BOTOX. The Liquid facelift web site has a number of such individuals from a variety of specialties.
