Pure Skin: Are You a Candidate for BOTOX® or Fillers? What to Know Before Your Appointment

Pregnancy or Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, BOTOX® and dermal fillers are not recommended. While there are no confirmed studies showing harm, the lack of research means these treatments are avoided during this time. Pregnancy-safe facials and skincare options are available as alternatives.

Certain Medical Conditions

Underlying health issues—such as certain autoimmune disorders, bleeding disorders, or active infections—may make injectables unsafe. Your provider will review your full medical history before recommending treatment.

Medication Interactions

Some medications, especially blood thinners or immunosuppressants, may interfere with how your body reacts to injectables or increase the risk of bruising and complications. Always disclose your current medications during your consultation.

Skin Infections or Irritations at the Injection Site

Active cold sores, rashes, or other skin issues in the treatment area should be fully resolved before receiving BOTOX® or fillers. Treating inflamed or compromised skin can increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Why Consultations Matter

Every injectable appointment at Pure Skin includes a one-on-one consultation to evaluate your eligibility and create a safe, personalized plan. Even if you’ve had treatments before, we reassess each visit to ensure nothing has changed in your health or medications.

BOTOX® and fillers can deliver beautiful, natural-looking results—but only when administered with care and consideration. If you're unsure whether you're a candidate, book a consultation with our experienced team at Pure Skin. Your safety always comes first.

Feeling Like Myself Again: Christina’s HRT Journey with Pure Skin
January 14, 2026
At Pure Skin, our mission is to help you look and feel your best, inside and out. For Christina, that journey began when she realized something wasn’t quite right. Despite living a healthy lifestyle (eating well, exercising regularly, and taking care of her body) she still felt off. Depleted. Tired. Like she was doing everything right, but not getting the results she deserved. “I was feeling depleted and tired…brain fog, all of that,” Christina shared. “I just wasn’t feeling myself.” That’s when she turned to Pure Skin, a place she already trusted for her aesthetic needs from facials to Botox and beyond. This time, she came in for something different: hormone replacement therapy (HRT), specifically the HRT pellet treatment.
