no fillres will not ruin your CT scan results although they may show up on them if the scan is done in the area you were treated. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for. CT and ionizing radition scan should have no effect on your cosmetic filler treatments. I hope this helps reassure you.

Thanks for your question. CT scan should have zero effect on your cosmetic treatments. Thanks for asking and warm regards.

Solomon (Sol) Kamson, MD · Answer

CT scan radiation has no biological effects on Botulinum toxins (Botox).
Radiesse filler is a biostimulant dermal filler that consist of calcium hydroxyapatite which can be seen with CT imaging, however there is no evidence to support ionizing effects of the minuscule fleeting radiation from one time CT scanning. 
You do not need to be concerned about the immediate or longer term effects of CT radiation to your Botox or  Radiesse filler injections.
