Can I get botox armpit injections at 6 weeks of pregnancy for sweating?

Botox is a toxin. Even though is safely used on face and body, because there is insufficient data, it is best to avoid Botox during pregnancy.
Best of luck,

Thank you for your question, and congratulations on your pregnancy. Most Physicians do not like to prescribe medicines for pregnant women unless really necessary. Our office has a policy to not administer Botox or Fillers in pregnant patients. Always best to let your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon know about what is going on with your health. Congratulations again.

Dear bestie80 congratulations on your pregnancy.

The effect of Botox on the development of babies is currently unknown, so the application of the neurotoxin is not recommended during pregnancy.

Thank you for sharing your question. As a case of "better safe than sorry" Botox should not be given while a patient is pregnant. Hope this helps.

During pregnancy, it is not recommended to have Botox treatment. This is done in order to be certain that there will be no harm to the fetus. You should wait until after pregnancy and breast feeding before resuming Botox treatments.

Hi, thank you for your question! Unfortunately, I do not recommend receiving botox while pregnant. It is not FDA approved for someone to receive botox while pregnant.

Hello, and thank you for your question! No, it is not recommended to get Botox injections while you are pregnant. While there is no definitive evidence that Botox can harm your unborn child, it is advised to refrain from getting these injections until after you have given birth.

It is recommended patients do not have Botox injections while pregnant. There is not sufficient evidence showing it is safe to have Botox during pregnancy, therefore it is best to wait until after you've had your baby to consider further Botox treatments.

Botox is safe during pregnancy, and you may continue to have botox treatments for hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Botox does not have any systemic side effects, so it is safe during pregnancy. Typically, people need treatment every six months for these conditions, so that you might need one to two treatments during your pregnancy. There are not enough clinical data for breastfeeding, but breastfeeding is relatively safer. I hope I have answered your question.

While there is no evidence to suggest that botox can harm the fetus, there are no studies have been conducted on pregnant patients, which means nothing should be injected until after the pregnancy for safety purposes.
