Botox and Semi Permanent Eyebrows?

Question

How soon after botox can I have my eyebrows retouched with semi permanent tattooing. I already had them done 2 years ago and they just need a little infill, but I want my botox Monday and then eyebrows the nextday. Is this ok,,,, Thank you.

I would wait at least two weeks to see the full effects of Botox before getting a retouch of a tattoo for best results.

Your Botox treatment doesn't typically kick in overnight but, I would wait until the treatment wears off if you are having a "chemical brow lift" as brow position changes.

Technically for botox there shouldn't be an issue the following day, but for fillers you should wait 4 weeks. However the brows may change position a week after botox so may look different to the day of tattooing.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

Permanent makeup may be applied as soon as three weeks following Botox injections.  Ideally, you should wait until you have had multiple botox injections so you know what to expect

I would wait until the Botox has worn off (e.g. after 4 months), before considering semi-permanent tattooing. Your Botox injector (e.g. dermatologist or plastic surgeon ideally) can then further enhance your eyebrows.
