I have a history of anaphylactic reactions that started in my early 20's. lasted over 10 plus years, into my early 30's. I probably had 20 plus episodes and currently carry an epi-pen, although it has been about 10 years (I am 45) since my last reaction. Doctors could never pinpoint a specific cause. Is it safe for me to get botox? Thank you!

Answer: Multiple allergies should be evaluated
While Botox administration is very safe and the risk of having an allergic reaction is rare, it would be best to be evaluated by Allergy / Immunology first. In addition, if one has multiple, life-threatening allergies (that require carrying around an epi pen) --- it might be best to have this underlying condition further as there may be traditional as well as alternative medical therapies available that may boost your immune system. Strengthening one's immune system via good nutrition, supplements, and possibly Immunology evaluation will ultimately generate a healthier, younger individual.

Answer: Allergies and botox
Allergic reactions to Botox? Botox has an extremely safe profile. That being said an allergist or your plastic surgeon could skin test you to see if you have any allergy to botulinum toxin very easily.
