The CO2 laser treatment should not impact the Juvederm that was injected into the skin.

Stephen A. Goldstein, MD answers: Is laser resurfacing after Juvederm safe?

Six months ago I had a small amount of Juvederm filler used on a scar on my chin. There was an improvement, but I would like to have CO2 laser resurfacing to try for more improvement. Is this safe considering the somewhat recent use of Juvederm?

There should be no problem adverse effects from the CO2 laser following Juvederm® injection, especially after six months. Juvederm is typically injected into the deep dermis or sub-dermal layers of the skin. CO2 laser will not be penetrating to this depth.

Thanks for your question. I hope this helps!
