Question

Can I combine Botox with Titan?

I had a Titan treatment about 10 days ago. I plan on getting another one in about 4-6 weeks. I would like to get Botox sometime before the next Titan treatment. The Botox will be mainly in my forehead and crow's feet area. The Titan will be mainly my lower face and neck, although, she did go over a little bit of my lower and upper eye area last time.

My question is, if she were go anywhere near the Botoxed area with the Titan Laser, would it dilute the effectiveness of the Botox after the Botox has been in my system for a couple of weeks or a month?
Thanks,
Julie
Winston

Many patients within our practice combine injectable treatment (Botox & fillers) with their laser treatments. Because lasers involve thermal (heat) energy, it is always prudent to perform the laser treatment first, followed by the Botox and/or fillers.

Julie, Fillers are often compromised by laser treatments that go into the dermis of the skin (below the epidermis) however Botox would/should not be compromised by a laser, especially one like Titan that does primarily treat the lower face. Fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse and Perlane are a substance below the skin whereas Botox is simply relaxing the muscle and is not impacted by lasers. Laser vendors will even tell you that fillers should not be compromised by a laser treatment, but just to be safe at my medical spa we recommend most people get the fillers after their Titan, Genesis or Fraxel. IPL and laser hair do not typically impact filler. If I can be of help let me know! FYI- Titan treatments are usually every 3 to 4 weeks to my knowledge.
