Can you have Botox when pregnant?

Patrick K. Sullivan

It is generally not recommended to have Botox while pregnant.

Botox and similar cosmetic injectables are classified as category C, meaning their effects on pregnant women and unborn babies have not been thoroughly studied. Healthcare professionals therefore advise avoiding it as a precaution.

Finding out you’re pregnant after Botox

If you had Botox before realizing you were pregnant, there's usually nocause for alarm. Botox works locally at the injection site and is unlikely toaffect your pregnancy. However, you should inform your healthcare provider sothey can address any concerns and provide appropriate guidance.

Botox and pregnancy planning

If you’re planning or trying to conceive, it’s best to avoid Botox treatments. Whilethere’s no concrete evidence of harm, the lack of comprehensive studies meansthe risks are uncertain. Waiting until after pregnancy is generally recommendedfor added peace of mind.

Do cosmetic injections affect fertility?

Current research shows no direct link between cosmetic injectables like Botox affecting fertility. However, if you are undergoing fertility treatments or actively 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.
