Answer: Dear Claudia,



Thank you for the question. Amlodipine does affect Botox results when Botox is used for more systemic issues e.g muscle spasm and over active bladder.



However I don’t believe it affects the localised affects of Botox when treating small muscle groups in the face. We have a few patients on Amlodipine and Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox, Xeomin and Azzalure) work for them.





Alternative treatments for Botox include Profhilo and microneedling. These treatments help to improve the of the skin and therefore reduce lines and wrinkles. However Botox is unique in its action.



If you would like to book in for a consultation then please contact us via our profile page.

Answer: Hello Claudia



Yes there are alternative options to treat lines across the brow, frown lines and crows feet.



If you have lines that you can see when your face is resting then dermal gel fillers are an excellent option, they give instant and last longer than Botox often over 12 months depending on the depth of the line and amount of dynamic movement.



When you only see the lines on movement called dynamic lines then it is most effective to keep your skin healthy and dermis thick by projecting daily with and SPF of 30 so that collagen is not destroyed by light. To keep your skin really healthy and tight microneedling is a great option especially with a bio-active serum containing exosomes or polynucleotides, these messenger molecules boost your skins ability to repair so stop and even reverse skin ageing.

Answer: Hi Claudia, thank you for your message. Amlodipine is not contra-indictaed for Botox, although there may be a slightly increased risk of bruising after treatment. If you would still prefer to not have botox other such as injections or microneedling could be an alternative, these treatments are carried out in courses of 3 sessions and take longer to see results. Youre welcome to book for a consultation if you would like to discuss . Thank you

Answer: There are no listed names between Botulinum Type A and Amlodipine in the BNF as of today.

Registered Nurse Mary White

22nd July 2024

Answer: Dear Claudia,

We would recommend coming for a consultation with our medical staff. we treat many patients who are prescribed Amlodipine and Botox is extremely effective. it is certainly not a contraindication to treatment. Currently there are not licensed alternatives to Botox that we can administer, so our medical staff would recommend trying Botox injections first.

We can arrange a consultation for you.

Kind regards
