I was wondering if any of the women here have any experience with Botox or skin injections and if they believe it has had any impact on the immune system/UC? Been considering it but don’t want to risk my health and remission. Thanks.

I don't know about fillers but my derm (who is well-versed in autoimmune disease) said Botox is safe.

I've had Botox on face and lip filler a couple times 12+ years ago when UC symptoms were not good (way better now). No difference in UC with Botox but ouch they hurt, like the worst needles ever except for one between toes (screaming pain that one).

I'd love some filler around lips but my pain avoidance is greater than my vanity (not commenting on your choice in any way). Have needles gotten better, less painful?

Use your noodle, iPoop, and you'll figure it out.
