Antidepressants Vs HA injections? Is there a contraindication?

Question

hello, I will soon start taking antidepressants (cipralex). I wonder if I can continue to receive voluma / vollure injections, or is there a contraindication?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  There is no contraindication between antidepressants and dermal filler use.  I would disclose your medication use to your injector but you are safe to continue treatments.  Hope this helps.

There is no contraindication to filler injections while on antidepressants.  
Interestingly, there is some early research that has linked injections of botulinum toxin to mood elevation and alleviation of depression.  This may prove to be an interesting area of study going forward.

Jennifer Trent, MD, FAAD · Answer

You can get filler injections while on anti-depressants.  Always disclose all medications to your injector.  Always seek treatment from a qualified physician.
