CAN I COMBINE MICRONEEDLING TREATMENTS WITH FILLER OR OTHER INJECTIONS? We recommend scheduling filler or other injections, such as Botox® or Dysport® at least one week prior to your microneedling treatment, or one week after.
While it may be tempting to combine Botox and microneedling to get the best of both worlds, it's best not to do it at the same time. The two processes can definitely compliment one another, but Botox needs to be administered to healthy, intact skin, and microneedling creates many, many micro wounds.
Though, filler injections too soon after microneedling will be more uncomfortable and more likely to cause an unsatisfactory result if any swelling is present after microneedling. Therefore, most of the time it is best to wait around two weeks between filler injections and microneedling.
Your practitioner should advise you to allow at least 2 weeks to pass between your botox and micro needling treatments. The reason is quite simple. Your botox needs up to 14 days to settle and absurd into your muscle tissue. Any strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first 24 hours.
In most cases, your permanent makeup artist will advise you to get your microblading BEFORE getting botox. And, when you have had microblading done, it's best to wait for at least 4 weeks before you go ahead with your botox appointment.
Here's why: if you Botox before Microblading, we will create your brow based on your Botoxed features, but once the effects of Botox wear off, then the brow placement may not settle where you want it. So, Microblade first.
Most clients see full results at between four and six weeks following treatment. This gives your body enough time to produce collagen and elastin and to send it to your micro wounds.
Both microneedling and Botox injections are safe and effective for patients with all skin types. Depending on patient needs, you may even recommend both, using microneedling to improve the surface and deeper condition of the skin, with Botox injections to help improve results longer term.

Secret RF Microneedling can offer long lasting results that Botox cannot.
Microneedling can be used under your eyes to promote collagen production, which can lead to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This procedure is typically used to treat dark circles or translucent skin under your eyes.
Avoid exfoliants, retinols, and vitamin C
Avoid any skin care product that contains harsh chemicals meant to exfoliate. Avoid anything that's scented, and don't use glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Retinol and vitamin C serum should be avoided for at least the first 48 hours after microneedling.
Botox works by freezing muscle movement which effectively prevents the formation of fine lines and softens wrinkles. Microneedling works by naturally stimulating collagen production that lessens the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars.
In short, yes, microneedling can make you look younger. As we age, our skin tends to become less tight and firm. When you get older, your body starts to break down collagen faster than it can produce it.
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.
Skin that is well-cared for and in good condition will gain the best results. We recommend you have a good skincare routine established at least 2 weeks before commencing a course of micro-needling. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing morning and night with a good sunscreen used daily would be the absolute minimum.
Microneedling is generally a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin. It may reduce wrinkles, diminish scarring, and tighten or rejuvenate loose or aging skin.
Can you have microdermabrasion after Botox? Yes. However, most doctors recommend waiting at least 24 hours after Botox before having any kind of facial rejuvenation treatment. Excessive pushing or pressing on the skin can interfere with the effectiveness of your Botox treatment.
Botox is a simple and effective way to have a non-surgical brow lift. A Botox brow lift will remove forehead lines, raise sagging eyebrows and reduce the appearance of upper eyelid hooding. A small amount of Botox needs to be injected above the lateral aspect of the eyebrows to lift droopy brows and provide a lift.
Please ensure you have allowed adequate time (at least 2 weeks) for any permanent makeup or injectables to heal prior to Microneedling.
How Often Should You do Microneedling Treatments? As a general rule of thumb, microneedling treatment can be safely done about once a month or every 4 to 6 weeks.
Vitamin C pairs wonderfully with nano-needling though, so definitely try to include this ingredient into your routine without any risk of irritation.
It's often used to reduce acne scars, tighten the skin, and even reduce stretch marks, but whether it can plump your lips—that's a whole other question. That's why we turned to New York dermatologist Judith Hellman, M.D., to find out if it works. Her short answer: No.
The science of tightening eyelids relies on causing controlled trauma to skin so as to stimulate collagen production and thereby improving the quality, thickness and integrity of skin. This can be achieved using Plasma BT or Microneedling.
