Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Whether it is cold or hot outside should not prevent patients from having Botox or fillers. There is no evidence that temperature differentials can affect the longevity of the results of Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Sculptra, fat injections, Botox, Dysport or Xeomin.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

There are no contraindications for injection of a dermal filler and/or neurotoxin during a heatwave that are documented. Discuss any concerns you have with your provider for further education.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

There really is no concern as far as outdoor heat and the use of Botox or fillers like Restylane or Juvederm. While we generally don't want our patients to go into a sauna, jacuzzi, or steamroom for the first 48hrs, this really has more to do with increased swelling and bruising that can occur with prolonged heat exposure and when the needle pokes are still healing. We'd be happy to assess you at Toronto Dermatology Centre, phone: 416-633-0001.

It is not a problem, come on in!  Matter of fact, you might sweat less after having the Botox!

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Environmental conditions should have no effect on Botox or demal filler products. Just like sunlight and exercise won't effect your results, neither will the outside temperature or humidity. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Dear Belledajour,

	If the products you inquired about have been handled correctly during their shipping and processing and they have been maintained according to their guidelines in the doctor's offices, there should be no problem with injecting the HA products or Botox/Dysport during the hot months of the summer.

	Hope this helps.

There should not be a problem with you having treatment with Botox and Restylane even if it is hot outside.

Ted Brezel, MD · Answer

Having either fillers or Botox during a heat wave should not be a problem at all. The injections (I assume) will be done indoors setting most likely air conditioned anyway. Regardless the heat will not affect the outcome.

Martie Gidon, MD, FRCPC, FAAD · Answer

Botox and Restylane are kept at controlled temperatures in the office.  There is no problem having them injected in hot or cold weather, but you should not apply heat to the areas at home.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

In the high temperatures injecting Botox or fillers should not be a problem.  Enjoy the products and stay out of the heat!
