I have received Botox, Restylane, and Radiesse in the past with no issues following the injection and I am scheduled to receive them again in a few weeks. I have, however, also recently started taking Humira for Crohn's and the idea is that I take it every two weeks. Would it still be safe for me to receive Botox, Restylane, and Radiesse in my face?

Answer: Botox and fillers while on biologics There should be no difficulty but it is always wise to contact your family doctor and get his/her opinion. I have injected these in patients on similar medications without problems

Answer: Botox and fillers while on Humira Thanks for your thoughtful question. I have safely and successfully injected patients on different injectable biologic agents including Humira, Enbrel and Stelara. As with any procedure, care must be taken to maintain sterile technique to address the increased risk of infection in these patients. My experience has shown no difference in safety or efficacy of these treatments in those patients whom I have treated. Best of luck to you!
