Botox and Laser/ipl
In experienced hands, botox can be safely performed 10 days after a laser or ipl treatment. The combination in the correct patient can provide excellent results.

Yes, Botox is safe after laser treatment
Botox can be safely used after laser therapy with minimal to no risk. I usually advise patients to wait one week between treatments. The two therapies together create a great combination.

Botox is Ok to do one day after IPL
The light source used for IPL can be used the day after your Botox without interfering with the effect of the Botox. The Botox is locked into position within a short time after injection and is not "disabled" with IPL or V-beam laser.

Botox and IPL treatment
You could probably do Botox and IPL on the same day but I'd do the IPL first then the Botox. There certainly no reason why doing Botox 10 days after IPL should be a problem.

Botox can be safely done 10 days after IPL
Botox is safe to do 10 days after Intense Pulse Light therapy. The skin would recover by then. Enjoy!

Botox after IPL
Botox ten days after IPL should not pose a problem. Indeed, one can do Botox and IPL on the same day. Do the IPL first.

Best Time for Botox Injections Following an IPL
Hi Em,
Botox can certainly be injected 10 days after an IPL. If there is any swelling after using a device that heats the skin, then I delay Botox injections until the swelling resolves. Good luck and be well.

No Problem
There should be no reason why you cannot get neuromodulator injections like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin even at the same time. Typically the neuromodulator is injected deeper than the IPL will reach.

Absolutely Yes, you can do IPL and Botox together even
You can absolutely do Botox 10 days after an IPL treatment. Many people even choose to have both procedures done on the same day, which is safe. Good luck!

Botox after IPL?
Hi Emily. This is the way we prefer to schedule any combination laser and injection treatments with the laser preceding the injections. We often do them on the same day, but the Botox and dermal fillers are always scheduled after the lasers. While the depth of a laser treatment is usually not going to interfere with the injection products, it's just a precautionary method.

Botox should be absolutely fine 10 days after IPL
We don't do IPL immediately after Botox, the other way around is fine however. You should be good to go getting Botox anytime after the IPL...10 days is way long enough.
+1
No problem with Botox immediately after IPL
Restrictions after Botox injections are quite minimal. Most recommend avoiding massaging the area for a day or two and avoiding very strenuous exercise for the day of the treatment. At 10 days after the treatment, there is really no chance of disturbing the treatment.
Most experts feel that Botox can be administered immediately after IPL has been performed- ie same office visit.

Botox and IPL treatment
Ten days post IPL is not a problem for Botox treatment. If you are doing both procedures in conjunction with each other you would do the Botox to follow the IPL for the reasons already stated. Mainly once the Botox is injected you do not want to have the injection site disturbed and risk the chance that the Botox moves into an area you did not want treated. Best regards!

Botox 10 days after IPL
Botox 10 days after IPL should not be a problem. As others have mentioned, both procedures can safely be administered on the same day.

Botox and IPL can be done together (the order matters)
Yes, you can have IPL ten days after your Botox injection. Like some of my colleagues mentioned you can do it on the same day as long as you do the Botox after the IPL. As well, make sure after any Botox injection you keep your head up for 3 hrs after the injection. Other than that you can pretty much do anything, if you ever have concerns check with the doctor that did your treatment.

Yes, but laser is better for wrinkles than IPL
Yes, in fact there are no restrictions after injecting Botox that make any sense from a scientific standpoint. Be sure you have the right indications for IPL. It is not very effective for wrinkles. Laser resurfacing is better.
+1
Botox after ipl
In my opinion you can certainly go ahead at ten days. The risk would be more in how far in advance of IPL can you do Botox. There is no clear answer to that.
+1
Not a problem.
In my office, BOTOX, fillers, and IPL are commonly performed during the same session with no issues. At 10 days there just will be no issue with this.
+1
Yes it is safe, but if done on same day it is better to have BOTOX® after IPL
If done on same day it is better to have BOTOX® after IPL because pressure from the IPL head during treatment could perhaps move the BOTOX® out of the area which was treated, or move it into a place you didn't want treated.
+1
Can I have IPL and Botox?
Yes. If they are to be performed on the same day, it is probably best to have the IPL performed first followed by the Botox treatment. In fact, this is commonly done without any increased incidence of side effects.
+1
Botox is fine to use with IPL
Not a problem as treatment with IPL should not affect the outcome with Botox and vice versa. Both can be used together.

IPL and BOTOX
Yes it's safe and can even be done in the same sitting, IPL first but order really doesn't make a difference
