How long after getting Botox can I try to conceive?

Doctor's Answers 2

Hi,

Botox is classified in category C for the pregnancy safety classification, which means that it has not been examined in pregnant women. Since a healthy fetus is the most important priority for every pregnant woman, I strongly discourage the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes during pregnancy. Just because the risk is not worth it, no matter how unlikely it is.

On the other hand, there is really nothing to worry about Botox if you are not already pregnant and are just considering trying to get pregnant. If you are not too worried, getting pregnant immediately after using Botox should also be fine.

Hope this helps!

It is best to wait for at least 6 months after your last injection to conceive.

Will botox cause any permanent effects over the years if used repeatedly at the same spot?

botox used regularly over the same area can lead to semi-permanent atrophy (shrinking) of the muscle. This is why I always advise "jaw botox" not to be overdone. Hope this helps!
