Can Laser Resurfacing and Wrinkle Fillers Be Combined? I am confused about Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, and laser resurfacing. Are they safe together? I thought Hyaluronic acid and laser are attracted to water, so wouldn't the laser cause more intense treatment in the areas where there are fillers?

A: Combining Laser Resurfacing and Wrinkle Fillers

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!
