Can I Get Botox if I’m Pregnant, or Is It Unsafe?
Growing a little one is hard work, and sometimes you just don’t feel very radiant. You’ve been curious about getting Botox to help get your glow back, but you’re probably asking yourself, “Can I get Botox if I’m pregnant?”
How Does Botox Work for Anti-Aging?
Botox works by using a designer toxin that temporarily blocks the communication between your muscles and your nerves. This causes the muscles that allow you to make deep expressions to soften and relax and your wrinkles to diminish dramatically.
Can I Get Botox if I’m Pregnant?
Botox is FDA approved to treat a lot of different areas, but it’s not cleared to be used while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. So, be sure to talk to a specialist about starting Botox injections after you’ve given birth and are finished nursing.
Give Me the Scoop on the Cost of Botox Injections
The price of your Botox injections varies with your geographic location, area being treated, and person providing your treatment. The average cost of Botox is priced at about $10 to $20 dollars per unit, and you need multiple units to achieve maximum results. For instance, your forehead takes about 20 units of Botox.
Tell Me What I Can Do to Make My Result Last
It’s actually really easy to help your Botox look its best. All you have to do is protect your skin from the sun, stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet, and have an excellent skincare routine at home. Botox also works well in combination with dermal fillers, so be sure to ask your provider how to use them both to bounce back after you have had your baby and are done breastfeeding.
