I just got Botox injections in my forehead at my dermatologist office. I have had Botox before, but never at my dermatologist office, so I am somewhat aware of the process and what to expect afterwards. I realized, however, that this time my doctor never took my makeup off prior to the treatment (only using alcohol wipes after the procedure to clean up). Should I be concerned?

Answer: Make up and Botox We do not request removal of make up (unless it is very thick) when delivering Botox. However, when injecting fillers we do remove all make up and advice patients not to put make up for 24 h after filler injection. Hope this helps. Goof luck.

Answer: Got Botox injections with makeup still on injection site. Should I be concerned? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. For any facial injectable treatment the skin should be prepared appropriately to reduce the chance of infection and other complications. It is routine to remove makeup and skin oil prior to sterilizing the skin. That said the risks for you are small, but alert your injector to what took place, and if you have any symptoms different than your previous Botox treatments.
