Can Jehova's witnesses get Botox injections?

Question

I recently learned that botox contains human derived albumin obtained from human blood. Is thid the case for all brands? should i stop getting botox injections altogether?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

And so does Xeomin, another neurotoxin. I believe human albumin is a necessary preservative since the Botulinum toxin molecule is fragile. Your religious aversion to Botox is understandable, but I don't know if there is a neurotoxin without it. Thank you for this question and I hope it's helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Yolanda Marcos, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! Most neuromodulators have human albumin in them however, there are neuromodulators you can try, one of them is called Daxxify recently released by the Revance Aesthetics company if you would like more information on that you can reach out on their page! They are a vegan alternative with no human biproducts!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, Botox does contain a form of albumin.  Websites for each of the neuromodulators available should be able to give you a specific breakdown of the ingredients.  Check with your spiritual leader for further guidance on future treatments.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

All of the neuromodulators that are used in the industry, have some form of albumin in its contents. You should probably speak to your spiritual leader whether or not, you can use such products. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
