Medrol Dosepack -- okay to be on prior to Botox or dermal fillers?

greengrass2
My first appt to discuss fillers & Botox is in a few days. I aggravated a herniated disc & am considering taking a 4 mg Medrol Dosepack. If I do start the meds, I'll be on Day 4 of the pack on the day of my filler appt. If I decide to get injections of HA or Botox that same day, could the steroids impact the injections in any way, or affect ease of placement or outcome? Thank you.
