Can I get Botox and Juvederm with MS?

Question

I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I would like to continue with my Botox treatments in my forehead and Juvederm in my lips. Is this ok?

Monica Boen, MD · Answer

You shouldn’t have any kind of adverse reaction or decreased efficacy if you do rejuvenating treatments even though you have multiple sclerosis (MS). We have patients with MS at our center who regularly enjoy cosmetic and aesthetic enhancements, without any problem. Please let the physician who is helping you treat MS know about your plans, however. And be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert with injectable rejuvenation therapy.

Thank you for your question. MS should not prohibit you from having Botox or fillers. Please consult with an experienced physician so your case can be evaluated and the best recommendation can be made.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, having MS is not contraindicated for Botox and fillers. I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist about your desired treatments. Hope this helps.

We have treated patients with advanced MS with botox and fillers.   The amount of botox is so small and it's localized in the area injected that there is no danger of systemic toxicity.   Fillers are completely fine in patients with MS.

Selena Lantry, MD · Answer

Yes, continuing with your Botox and Juvederm injections with MS is completely safe.  Neither should have any impact on the other.

Thank you for your question! Having MS is not contraindicated for use with either Botox or Dermal Fillers. Ensure that you are getting your treatments done by a cosmetic physician to get your desired results.

You can get both Botox and Juvaderm even though you have MS. The cosmetic products will not interfere with your medical condition.

Sharon Kshettry, MD · Answer

Botox or any neurotoxins are contraindicated with multiple sclerosis condition as it can weaken muscle action further. Rarely they can travel to other parts of body and weaken muscles. You can do Juvederm fillers. Check with your doctor also who is caring for MS.
