Can I get Botox with a glabella birthmark?

It should be fine for you to have a Botox treatment of the glabellar area despite your birthmark. Botox works well to soften the appearance of the "11's". Be sure to see an expert injector near you for treatment.

Hello there!This is an interesting question. Usually birth marks involve the skin and sometimes deeper layers, but usually not the muscles of the face, which is where Botox works to achieve its goal of softening wrinkles through strategically weakening the muscle. Since Botox gets injected in that deeper layer, it likely won’t cause any issues related to the birthmark. I can’t give you perfect advice without seeing it in person, but make sure it’s not a vascular malformation or anything that can bleed a lot when pricked with the Botox needle, and it’s not safe to inject the Botox protein directly into a vascular malformation. In fact, the safest way to inject the Botox is likely to reach the muscles of the glabella but through an entry point that isn’t in the area in question, sort of like reaching your hand through an open window to turn a doorknob on the other side. An experienced clinician can handle your injections soundly. Hope this helps!
