Can I Detox After Getting Botox?

the procedure of chemical detox for substance abuse should not affect the mechanism of Botox injections, but if you are under the influence of agents, than it would not be prudent to have Botox injections as this is an elective treatment for cosmetic improvement and you don't want to incur greater risk of complications such as infection from needle sticks if your immune system is affected by the substance abuse.  Furthermore, if you're not able to make sound decisions by not comprehending the risks, then you shouldn't decide to have a medical treatment.  Waiting until after detox before Botox makes more sense if the choice is still possible.

Dear Marietta

In order to provide a meaningful answer to this questions, one needs to know what you me by "detoxification."  If you are talking about, fasting, purging, or other dietary so-called detoxifications, no problems.  If you are talking about ridding yourself of a chemical dependence, again this should not be a problems.  If you are asking if it is possible to get rid of the effect the BOTOX after treatment if you do not like the effects of treatment, then the answer is no.  There is no specific antivenom that will neutralized BOTOX.  However, the product does where off after after two months.

Any Detox program should not affect your Botox results.  Botox will last anywhere from 3 to 5 months where it was injected.  A Detox program will not affect this.

There is no problem undergoing chemical dependency treatment or any other type of treatment including homeopathic treatments to detox your body. Botox is very localized and only acts directly on the muscles that were injected.  There are no other specific interactions to be concerned with. I hope this information helps.

Since Botox works locally where it is injected, there is no problem of a detox program after receiving Botox. There should  be no interactions or problems. Dr. Behnam.
