I had an allergic reaction to Botox after being vaccinated - is there a connection?

Hello and thank you for your question. Botox and vaccines have very distinct formulas and purposes and should not have any direct effects on each other. Furthermore, there are no existing studies that claim a connection between the two. However, and although rare, it is possible to have allergic reactions to Botox. I recommend discussing your concerns with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your face, determine your eligibility for the procedure, design the best treatment plan, and safely deliver your desired results.

Hi, possibly, we recommend waiting two weeks prior and post Botox. Thank you, Warm Regards, The Absolute Cosmetic Medicine team.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you experienced after your Botox treatment. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon before having your next treatment. An allergy test can be done if indicated. There is no known contraindications between the COVID vaccine and Botox treatments.

Hi there,

Not likely! Are you certain you had Botox and not another neurotoxin. The protein carriers can vary so that could be a possible reason. Also the vaccine itself ramps up the immune system and could just be solely from the vaccine.

Best of luck!

Hello!I do not think there is a conection between the vaccine and the Botox application.But I can be sure about it, there are few cases of patients with Botox allergy, it is really rare.
