Yes you can have Botox/Fillers with Lupus, as long as your condition is controlled and stable. There is no evidence that Botox/Fillers worsen/exacerbate autoimmune disease. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. It’s possible to have Botox done while having Lupus. Please make sure you consult your provider. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
Yes as long as your lupus is under control there should be no reason you cannot have botox and/or fillers. I will generally consult with the patients treating physician prior to doing the injections to make sure your condition is stable and they have no objections to the procedure.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease.Both are probably safe, but Botox may not have it's full effect, as you may have or develop antibodies to the compounding proteins in the commercial preparation. This is called tachyphylaxis.Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid and also probably safe but you are at a higher risk of developing an adverse reaction or a granuloma. I would suggest a very low concentration of hyaluronic acid (not cross linked) or PRP.Sincerely,Dr. Anna Sylwestrowicz MD, FRCP(C)Victoria, BC
