Unlikely: Depends on the physician and the indication for the botox. For most cosmetic Botox injections, no lab work (blood tests) are needed.

Botox Tests?: No blood tests are necessary before Botox treatments. There are three general reasons not to have Botox -- pregnancy, breast feeding, and neurologic disorders, such as myasthenia gravis. Best not to take any blood thinners, as bruising is a possible side effect.

Botox injections: There is no need to get blood test prior to your Botox or Dysport injections unless you have a concern that you may be pregnant. In that case, it would be prudent to wait until you know for sure you are not pregnant.

No: Botox has an excellent safety record and no blood tests are needed prior to treatment.

Rarely: If you are on coumadin, (warfarin) you might want to check the INR to see how much of a risk you are for bruising. I can't think of any other reason for a blood test. A urine pregnancy test may be helpful to make sure you are not pregnant.

Botox blood testing: No. Skin testing may be required if you have a suspected allergy to albumen, otherwise no testing is needed.
