Daxxify and pregnancy risk?

Question

I got Daxxify and later found out that I was pregnant. I know that Botox is not approved during pregnancy but it seems like those who have had it done and later find out they're pregnant have gone on with safe pregnancies. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be the case with Daxxify?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox and other neuromodulators should not be used when pregnant or if you are planning to become pregnant.  Due to a lack of studies it's not possible to say if it is "safe" since you had Daxxify and later found out you were pregnant.  In the same light, there is a lack of studies saying it isn't "safe".  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your obstetrician.

Thanks for your question. No botox injection has ever been shown to have any deleterious effect on the fetus of a woman who was injected- and that has happened inadvertently many many times over the decades. The doses used in particular for cosmetic results are extremely small overall, and the tiny bit of that that might wash into the general circulation would not be expected to pose any harm whatsoever. No botox brand is 'approved for use in pregnancy' specifically because pregnant women were not, and will never be, included in the studies that were done to bring it to market. I hope that helps!
