It’s not recommended to get Botox during pregnancy.
The use of Botox hasn’t been studied in pregnant people, so the overall risks haven’t been fully evaluated, especially for cosmetic use. That said, in some cases where some individuals have received Botox prior to knowing they were pregnant, no fetal malformations were reported1 .
If you’re concerned about wrinkles during pregnancy, it’s best to speak with a board-certified dermatologist about any other potential treatment options that may be safe for pregnancy. Alternatives include moisturizing creams or serums containing hyaluronic acid, which may have a plumping effect to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
