Can I Have Travel Vaccinations the Same Day As my Botox?

As you're likely aware Botox is a relatively painless treatment with no downtime. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about certain travel immunizations. However, I am not aware of any contraindication with regard to Botox and immunizations on the same day. I hope you have a great trip planned!Stephen Weber MD, FACS

there is no known contraindications between Botox injections and traveler's immunizations of which I'm aware.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend not getting them at the same time just in case there are some reactions for some reason you can pinpoint the cause. Be sure to get treated under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best and safest results with your botox.  I hope this helps.

Great to see that you are taking precautions when planning to have Botox injections. But not to worry, they should not interfere with any vaccinations you plan on having prior to taking a trip. The Botox remains localized in the area it is injected, and will not spread to the body. With that being said, you should be fine, as the two are not related. I hope this helps, and enjoy your travels!

Without knowing specific vaccinations you are receiving or considering, it's difficult to answer this question. Check with the Botox provider who has access to the specific recommendations and guidelines included with the packaging, to be certain.

The answer to your question could depend on the particular vaccinations that your are receiving, but to my knowledge, there is no reason that you could not have any of the typical travel vaccinations on the same day as a Botox treatment.  

Because Botox remains local and does not travel systemically, there is no contraindication to having it done on the same day as travel immunizations.

Enjoy your trip!

Botox is a purified protein which blocks communication between nerves and muscles when used for cosmetic purposes. It is injected into the dermis, and there is no basis for concern nor any side effects reported in those receiving travel or other vaccinations and immunizations. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
