Can you have Botox when pregnant?

Patrick K. Sullivan

As an expectant mother, it's crucial to consider the safety of every health and beauty treatment. Currently, the consensus among medical professionals is to avoid Botox during pregnancy.

The primary reason is the lack of research; there have been no definitive studies that prove Botox is safe for use during pregnancy due to ethical concerns about testing on pregnant women.

If you have Botox and then get pregnant

If you discover you're pregnant after you have received Botox, the risk to your pregnancy is generally considered low. Botox acts at the injection site and doesn’t spread throughout the body. However, as a precaution, many healthcare providers recommend that women planning to conceive stop Botox treatments until after childbirth and breastfeeding, to ensure the utmost safety for both mother and baby.

Do cosmetic injections affect fertility?

There's no evidence to suggest that Botox affects fertility. The treatments target specific muscles and do not interfere with the reproductive system. However, for women undergoing fertility treatments or those trying to conceive, it's standard advice to avoid any unnecessary medications or procedures, including Botox, unless prescribed or explicitly considered safe by a healthcare provider.
