Do Vitamins Affect Botox?

There are some thoughts that excess Vitamin E may  be associated with bleeding which could interfered with Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) injections. otherwise I am not aware of any other Vitamin interactions.
 

Stopping vitamins prior to Botox injections, especially those that include blood thinning properties (Vit E, etc) is beneficial to reduce the risk of bruising. There is some evidence, although less than scientific as of today, that Zinc supplements can decrease the gap between injection and effective results as well as improving total effectiveness of the drug....but the real scientific verdict is out.

There has been no evidence of which I am aware that the effectiveness of Botox or Dysport is affected by vitamins. You might avoid separate vitamin E supplements prior to the injections to minimize bruising but that is not related to the Botox specifically.

You do not have to stop taking vitamins before Botox treatments. Some vitamins can increase chances of bruising, but bruises are not usually a significant problem with Botox injections.  Only stop taking all your vitamins before the injections (2 weeks) if you are concerned about bruising.

Vitamins will not affect the longevity of the result after botox injections.  Just keep in mind that large doses of vitamin E may increase the risk of bruising. Normal doses (daily requirements) will not alter anything.

In general, I'd recommend stopping any medications that can cause increased bleeding or bruising.  Vitamin E and other herbal medications can potentially cause you to have more bruising after your treatment.

There is no known inter action between Botox & multivitamins. They have nothing to do with its effectiveness , or duration of action. As suggested by my colleagues, you may want to stop vitamin E supplements, if you are taking them separately. Large doses of vitamin E might increase the incidence of bruising with the injection, but they have nothing to do with the BOTOX itself.

Vitamins won't affect the result of the Botox injections, meaning you should get the same results and the duration of the results shouldn't be affected. But some Vitamins will increase the risks of bruising after Botox injections. I would stop any anti inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen base medication as well as Vit E and Fish oil. You can stop those one week prior to your Botox injections. 

Only if you are concerned about possible increased bruising (from Vitamin E's or some supplement). Discuss with the injecting doctor prior to the Botox injections. Or better yet STOP them for ONLY your peace of mind. 

A regular multivitamin shoudl have no affect on the the injection of Botox, it is when you mix it with herbals that brusiing may develop.
