Answer: Botox/Fillers with Vitiligo I don't believe there is any problem with having Botox or fillers if someone has Vitiligo. In fact I think most doctors would feel very comfortable, including myself in giving the injections of Botox or Fillers to patients with vitiligo. In general, physicians will screen for a history of neuromuscular disorders and autoimmune diseases.Please consult a professional in your area.

Answer: Botox and vitiligo Thank you for your question faren.de. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Vitiligo is a condition characterized by the appearance of patches on the skin with pigment loss. Vitiligo is not a contraindication to receiving Botox injections. But just how insults such as injections can trigger hyperpigmentation on the skin, there is the possibility of depigmentation. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
