Botox is fine on days you have a facial
The only caveat is that the facial is done first. After Botox, I tell my clients to avoid strenuous activity, avoid putting yourself in a horseshoe for a massage, avoid hot tubs and saunas, and caps for 3 hours.

Facial and Botox concurrently
There are some concerns with displacing the Botox from vigorous facial manipulation. I generally do not see a problem with the facial first an Botox second. However, I would not do this the other way around.

Botox and Facials
If you want to have a facial and a Botox treatment on the same day, you need to have the facial first. The massage during the facial would move the Botox around causing surrounding muscles to be affected. Therefore, by having the facial first you can avoid the risk of unintended spread of the Botox.

Facial before (not after) Botox is safe
I would agree with my colleagues that a facial treatment prior to Botox/ Dysport injection is safe. I would advise you to avoid a facial immediately after Botox/ Dysport treatment as this can result in excessive spread or diffusion of the product.

Multiple Procedures with Botox
Yes, it is fine to have a facial and Botox on the same day. I would suggest the facial first and then the Botox. We frequently do chemical peels and Botox at the same visit to the office. Good luck.

Botox and facials on the same day okay if facial comes first
There are many patients in our office that get multiple procedures on the same day. The key to this is making sure they are done in the right order, so that you get the maximum benefit you are trying to achieve.
Facials may include massage, lymphatic drainage, or other muscle movement, and are done lying down. For these reasons I do not recommend getting a facial immediately after having Botox. If you do the facial first, you can do Botox the same day. Any skin care...

Facial or botox
Do the facial first then the Botox. A person pushing on your face may displace the botox treatment.

Facial first
You do not want to have your face rubbed and massaged after Botox. This could result in the material diffusing into other muscles and causing unwanted effects like a lid droop. Doing the facial before (especially one with chemical or mechanical exfoliation) will brighten the complexion and make you look even better when your Botox kicks in.

Botox and Facials on same day
In theory, you can get Botox and a facial on the same day, IF you are willing to wait several hours between treatments. To date, none of my patients have that kind of time in their schedule, so they have opted for separate treatment days for Botox and their facials.

Botox and facials
Absolutelyan you can have bot Botox and a facial done the same day but the facial must be first! Otherwise the facial could manipulate the positioning of the Botox if the botox were done first.

Can You Get a Professional Facial As Well As Botox Done on the Same Day?
Yes you can but I do not recommend it. it is better to wait 24 hours after the Botox injections before having any type of facial because the facial can swell the skin layers from the chemicals used makin the diffusion of the injected Botox unpredictable. If you do the Botox first than the injection site might have bleed or be tender for a deep facial. So in my opinion it can be done but better to wait a day. Regards

Botox and Facial
You can get Botox and a facial on the same day. You should get the facial first, then Botox.

The risk of moving the BOTOX around is not zero.
It is very common to multiple procedures at the same time. It is possible to do both the facial and the BOTOX at the same time. Much depends on exactly what type of facial you are getting and precisely how the BOTOX is being done. If your injector uses relatively few injections, you are a greater risk that this injection fluid can be pushed around during the facial. Having the facial first will reduce the small risk associated with this manipulation.

Yes you can get Botox and a facial on the same day
Botox is dissolved in saline (salt water). After an injection the saline is absorbed by your body and the Botox attaches to receptors on the nerve that tell your muscle to move. Once the saline is absorbed, the Botox is attached to the nerve and it will not move.
So it is definitely alright to have a facial before Botox. If you need to do it the other way around, you need to wait until the saline has absorbed. That usually happens within an hour. But...

Botox and facial
The toxin is injected into the muscle and depending on the dilution used (sometimes there is a "bleb" of skin above the injection site) a facial 4 hours after injection should not be a problem on the same day

You can get a facial and botox done on the same day.
yes you can get a facial and botox done on the same day but do the facial first then the botox can be done right away or if you do the botox first then you should wait a few hours to get the facial since you will be laying down for the facial and the botox might travel alittle. We don't really know if botox will travel or not but just to be on the safe side you should wait a little time. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD
