Can I Get Botox While Pregnant? Should I Wait for Cosmetic Injections?

There’s nothing more beautiful than the happy glow of a soon-to-be mom!

But what if you want to rejuvenate your look by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles before the baby comes?

Are you wondering, “Can I get Botox while pregnant?” Here's what you need to know.

Can I Get Botox While Pregnant, or Do I Need to Wait? Here’s the Truth!

Botox, scientifically known as botulinum toxin, falls into the “X” pregnancy category. This means that injections aren’t proven to be safe.

There’s just not much research on Botox during pregnancy, and what studies have been done have found that it can pose risks to your unborn baby.

It’s best to be safe and avoid Botox while pregnant.

When Can I Resume Botox Treatments?

After your little bundle of joy has finally arrived, you may be anxious to schedule your next Botox treatment. In addition to the question, “Can I Get Botox while pregnant,” many moms-to-be also wonder about getting Botox while breastfeeding.

Because it’s unknown if Botox affects breastmilk, most doctors recommend avoiding this injectable until you’re no longer expecting or nursing. Reputable Botox injectors typically will not provide it to moms who are breastfeeding.

Talk with your injector to determine the best time for you to start or resume treatment and you can achieve the outstanding Botox results you deserve.
