Botox Injection

Q:

I read in your archive questions that it is not recommended to try to get pregnant if you are receiving Botox treatments. I had one Botox injection a week ago. How long should I wait to conceive to ensure that the Botox would not create any problems with a potential pregnancy?

A:

I would wait six months before trying to conceive after Botox treatments. By then, the Botox will be out of your system.
