Can a person with herpes get Botox?

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.
