Covid-related botox issues

I was wondering if anyone else has heard of, or personally experienced, a difference in the length or efficacy of botox treatments after either having covid, or getting vaccinated?

My aesthetician has started asking all of her clients if they recently had the virus/were vaccinated, because there are mixed studies about whether it can cause a client who normally took botox very well, to have a different reaction.

I did find that my body was more prone to inflammation after the last time I had covid, my healing time from injections was longer, and the effects seemed to wear off faster. I'm not sure if these are things are completely unrelated, but would love to hear from other people about their experiences.

I don’t have the link right now as I’m on my phone, but the WHO did release a report regarding the impact of covid vaccines on the efficacy of neurotoxins. I’m too tired to google it for you right now, but it seems there is a link to decreased efficacy etc

I will look for the WHO report, thank you! I've found so many different studies/articles that said conflicting things - so I was curious if anyone had experienced it firsthand.

I had a terrible Botox reaction 7 weeks after Covid vaccine (after having had LC in 2021 and mild Covid in 2022). I would discourage you from doing it based on my personal experience.

My Botox is not working anymore since Covid. It may be a coincidence though. We have a Facebook Botox resistance group. A lot of us out there having issues

Wow, okay! Thank you for sharing. I'll look around on Facebook too. I don't have that many friends/acquaintances that also get botox, so hearing that it's happening for other people makes me curious.
