There should be no problem two weeks after a treatment.
Shelly
This is a question you should really address with your doctor who did the treatment. Generally I ask patients to wait about a week before having their brows waxed. However, different doctors have different time frames and I am not sure we always have good evidence for our time frames. None the less, your injecting doctor is the one who would be taking care of you if there were an issue. For this reasons, you should respect their recommendations.

Botox and waxing of eyebrows
Both the injection of neurotoxin and the removal of the hair from the surface of the skin are two events that are not related to each other. This means, it does not matter when you get your eyebrows done- if you are concerned with the effects of the neurotoxin. If you are concerned with the shape of your eyebrows however, wait at least 4 hours till the swelling has subsided, and until you have the total effect of the neurotoxin (up to 2weeks for some) if you would like your waxing lady to...

Botox Question
It is a good idea to wait a day or two to allow the injection sites to heal but waxing will not alter nor lessen the effects of Botox. It is always a good idea to ask your plastic surgeon or dermatologist if any medications or other procedures will effect an injectable such as Botox or Juvederm.

Can you get your eyebrows waxed right after #Botox? Yes!
Might as well wait a day to allow the small injection sites to heal, but there is no relationship between the Botox acting on the muscle, and the hair root. The muscles are deeper than the hairs, and you should be fine! This is in contrast to Retin-A cream use, which does not play well with waxing.

Botox injections and when to wax eyebrows
This is a common question that I receive from my patients and two weeks post botox is a good time for the proper evaluation of brow position for the best effect from your eyebrow shaping and waxing. One week typically would be good so you are very safe in scheduling your brow appointments. Many of my patients have their brows done every three to four weeks for dying and shaping and they schedule these appointments around their quarterly or semi annual botox appointments. Best regards!

Wait a few hours after Botox for eyebrow waxing.
Hi Shelly. The only reason we suggest a few hours after Botox, is that you do not want someone "handling" your face immeidately after Botox injections. We would not want the product to move or travel in the forehead because of any pressure associated with the waxing.
Two weeks after is plenty of time to avoid the issue. Good luck.

Manipulation of the brows is ok at two weeks
The concern regarding early manipulation of areas where Botox has been injected is related to pressing the Botox into muscles which should not be treated.]
Typically the Botox has attached to the muscle receptors earlier than two weeks.

Brow shaping after Botox
The primary issue is that treating the "11"s or your forehead with Botox can affect your brow shape. Any effect that Botox may have on your brow shape should be fully evident after one week. Waxing, in and of itself, has no direct effect on Botox activity. Waiting to wax your eyebrows for one week after you have been injected with Botox is advisable so that you have the most accurate idea of your brow position.

Eyebrow waxing or tweezing after Botox Cosmetic
It should be OK to get eyebrows waxed or tweezed 2 weeks after Botox Cosmetic. Most plastic surgeons and dermatologist suggest to avoid any skin care, microdermabrasion, or eyebrow waxing the first couple days after Botox treatment, but one week may be preferred. Speak with your Botox specialist regarding any concerns you have. Best of luck.

Waxing eyebrows after Botox
After two weeks, it is definitely safe to have your eyebrows waxed. It is probably safe to have your eyebrows waxed a day or two after having Botox injections, since it should not affect the outcome, although many physicians recommend a 1-2 weeks waiting period.

Waxing doesn't effect Botox
While I have not seen any scientific studies addressing this question, there should be no reason why you can't have your eyebrows waxed 2 weeks after receiving the Botox.

Ok to get brow waxed 2 weeks after Botox to forehead
At 2 weeks after having Botox to the forehead, you should be fine have your eyebrows waxed. IMHO, a couple of days would be long enough to wait between Botox and waxing.
