Q: Can laser resurfacing and wrinkle fillers be combined?
A:
The word is still out on the concomitant use of lasers and wrinkle fillers like the H.A.'s.
As long as the fillers are injected at the correct depth, and the laser you are talking about is targetting shallower areas, this is not a concern. There are many lasers out there, all of which target tissues at differing depths.
The safer approach is to have your wrinkle fillers injected a few weeks after your laser procedure. Hope this helps!
