Every year before Ramadan we are asked the same question. Here is the medical answer; the religious ruling is for scholars, not for us.
Medically
Botox, filler and skin boosters go into skin and muscle, never the stomach, and provide no nourishment. Fasting changes neither the result nor the risk.
Best timing
Two hours after iftar: hydrated, stable blood pressure, fewer bruises. Injecting after twelve hours of fasting in the heat increases dizziness and bruising, especially for filler, which needs compresses and water afterwards.
Lips in Ramadan
Lips dry out with fasting and filler swells. For Eid lips, do them at least two weeks before Ramadan, or two hours after iftar with plenty of water at night.
Botox for Eid
It needs two weeks to work, so mid-Ramadan is the latest.
Quick answers
Do injections break the fast?
A religious question for scholars. Medically: an injection is not food and does not reach the stomach.
Can I use numbing cream while fasting?
Medically no issue. Again, the ruling belongs to scholars.
Are you open in Ramadan?
Evening appointments after iftar. Book online or on WhatsApp.
