Botox/Restylane/Radiesse while on Humira?

Thank you for your important question.  I have treated many patients on this class of medication with Botox and other injectables.  I take extra care to sterilize the injection site and I have had no complications.  Good luck.

I am sorry to hear that your Crohn's disease has been having flare ups.  I am certain that you are interested in having the injections as they will definitely give you a boost to a difficult physical condition.  I have had similar situations with patients who have been on Humira and other agents that can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infection.  We use meticulous technique to reduce the potential for injection site infections.  Radiesse, Restylane, and Botox have no specific contraindications for injection in patients on this class of medications. 

There is no contraindication for Botox or injectable fillers while being treated with Humira. The most important thing to remember is to make sure that the injector knows about your Humira treatments in order to be even more meticulous in your case about sterile technique injections (this should be true for all injections).Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
