However, you should know that you need to wait about two weeks in between laser skin treatments and Botox injections, no matter which order you have them in.
Getting IPL and Botox in the same day is perfectly fine. These two treatments are great together as IPL addresses pigmentation, excessive redness and unsightly blood vessels, enlarged pore size, excessive hair and skin texture while Botox treats and smooths forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and frown lines.
Answer: IPL and Botox These can be done together without any problems there is no need to wait to do them. Best, Dr. Emer.
Answer: You can have Botox treatments done 2 weeks after a laser treatment depending on the treatment.
Answer: Lasers and Fillers and Botox -- Can Be Done Together I do a combination of treatments all on the same day there is no reason why you have to wait. Best, Dr. Emer.
That said, we will recommend scheduling the treatments on different days and likely begin with your BOTOX treatment; this will help you see an immediate, dramatic improvement in your appearance and allow your aesthetician to tune your laser treatment to target your remaining concerns.
Wait two weeks between treatments for optimal results
After microneedling, your skin has many tiny lesions, and Botox works best on healthy, intact skin. We advise waiting at least 14 days after Botox to get any other skin treatment because this is the amount of time it needs to fully settle.
Can You Combine Botox And Laser Treatment? If you ask the question: Is it possible to combine laser and Botox injections? The answer is yes—you are able to do so! Dermatologists said that combining these procedures might provide you with an even superior outcome.
Yes, laser treatments like IPL can be safely performed on patients who have received fillers, in some cases, some time between therapies to allow for healing and to ensure the fillers have settled into their intended position may be advisable.
Fraxel and CO2 lasers involve surface skin healing and we will seldom inject Botox at the same appointment as laser. If you plan to have Botox we suggest that you ideally have those injections a week or more before* laser treatments.
Botox results are temporary and only last for three to six months, but IPL results get better over time with multiple sessions.
Avoid alcoholic beverages at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to treatment. Alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising. Discontinue Retin-A two (2) days before and two (2) days after treatment.
The Advantages of Combining Treatments
The main advantages of using Botox, dermal fillers, and IPL laser treatments in unison include: Enhanced collagen production. Smoother and more even skin texture. More effective reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
MUST NOT have any further clinic treatments including, but not limited to, microdermabrasion, laser, IPL, chemical peels, or injectables such as Botox or dermal filler for at least two weeks after treatment. DO NOT pluck or wax the area at least one week after your Microneedling treatment.
Chemical peels should be done before having Anti-Wrinkle injections. Schedule your chemical peel first and follow up with your Anti-Wrinkle treatment 2 weeks later. The reason for waiting, is to avoid complications and ensure safe predictable results, by giving your skin time to heal before being injected.
Conclusion: Patients may be treated with several nonablative lasers and IPL or RF devices immediately after botulinum toxin injection without loss of efficacy or other apparent untoward effect.
“Pillow face” occurs when too much filler is injected into areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth), lips, and under-eye area. This repeated overfilling can result in a bloated, round appearance that looks far from natural.
Laser resurfacing must be done during a separate appointment 2-3 weeks before or after you receive BOTOX® or JUVÉDERM® fillers. The heat from the laser can affect and compromise the injectables in your face, therefore, eliminating their effects if performed too closely together.
If you are taking any other medicine, please inform your doctor before getting a Botox injection. Interactions with antibiotics, blood thinners, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills, cold or allergy medicine, bronchodilators, and many other prescriptions and over the counter drugs have been reported.
Allow Healing: If you plan to get fillers or Botox after microneedling, it's crucial to allow your skin to fully heal. This typically takes about 2-4 weeks. Benefits of Waiting: Waiting ensures that the injectables are administered to skin that is not inflamed, reducing complications and ensuring better results.
It is possible to have Botox or Dysport done after a PicoSure Treatment. However, I recommend waiting at least 1 week before having any dermal fillers or injectables.
Since Botox and microneedling are both non-surgical procedures, it's safe to get both treatments done in the same treatment areas on the same day. However, waiting until the neurotoxin has already “settled” helps clients achieve better results because there's less chance of bleeding and bruising on the skin.
There is some concern that microneedling could make Botox less effective. One study found that there was a decrease in the effectiveness of Botox when it was combined with microneedling, but more research is needed to confirm this finding. Overall, the research on this topic is inconclusive.
