Is it safe get Botox Cosmetic or Dysport if I'm heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation (C677T)?

Asked By:fpq in MD

I'm heterozygous for the C677T polymorphism of the MTHFR gene. I've heard that people with MTHFR mutations have trouble processing & eliminating toxins. Since Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins, I was wondering it is safe to get it done. I'm considering getting it for forehead wrinkles, crows feet, 11's, and in jaw for bruxism. To be on safe side, I was going to try one area 1st and see how my body handles it before doing it all together. Is it safe for me to get Botox or Dysport?
