Can a person with herpes get Botox?

Without an active outbreak there is no contraindication to having Botox...Best wishes and good luck.

There are no contraindications for Botox treatments when one has a history of Herpetic lesions. If an active lesion or outbreak is present it is best to avoid injection until it is resolved. One can also get a script for an antiviral medication like Valtrex to suppress and prevent flare ups. 

Absolutely. As long as you don't have any active vesicles / cold sores it is fine to undergo Botox treatment. If you do have a cold sore and are prone to them it would be worthwhile to wait until after the cold sore has healed or take a course of Valtrex provided by your physician Botox injector.  Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. If you are prone to cold sores you my want to consider taking Valtrex before injections around the mouth. As Botox injections can stimulate a herpes simplex 1 outbreak. Best,

I would prophylactically treat you with an anti-viral the day prior and post Botox if it is needed around the mouth area.  HSV can present itself anywhere on the face post trauma; however, it is rare post Botox injection.
