Can I get Botox one month before getting pregnant?

 Thank you for your question. If you know for sure that you were not pregnant, but you should be safe to have Botox.  

Prior to pregnancy botox is fine!  Botox has not been studied in women who are pregnant, however, many of my patients have had treatment without knowledge of their pregnancy and had no issues. The medication is not absorbed into the body at cosmetic doses and is only effective locally. In my opinion you have nothing to worry about , congratulations on your news! My suggestion is if you are concerned to see a "high risk" ob-gyne who can follow you closely during your pregnancy. But theoretically, this medication should not effect you or your baby negatively. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi A03.  As with most other practices, we ask that our patients make us aware of they become pregnant, but treat patients as long as they are not pregnant at the time.  In instances where patients have gotten treatment and then found out they were pregnant, none have had any issues with their pregnancies.
