Botox, fillers, peels and cosmetic laser

Postpone non-essential cosmetic injections, strong peels and elective laser procedures because products and procedures vary and there is no health need to accept uncertainty now.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

If a treatment happened before you knew you were pregnant, record the exact product, dose, date and clinic, then ask your care team rather than assuming harm.

What changes the answer

  • The exact ingredient, procedure, body area, amount and frequency
  • Whether treatment is medically needed or can reasonably be postponed
  • Skin damage, infection, fumes, heat, radiation and medicines used with the procedure

General guidance

When to get individual help

Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
