Generally, if the patient is aged over 18 years and presents with a reasonable indication that will benefit from treatment with botulinum toxin such as Botox.
There are a few restrictions, such as for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The effect of botulinum on these patient groups is un-tested. It would be unethical to offer Botox for cosmetic treatment to patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Botox is contra-indicated for people with certain medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis which causes weakness of muscles. People on specific medical treatments including Aminoglycoside antibiotics cannot have this treatment. All these restrictions can be discussed in the consultation with our practitioner.
