How Soon After Botox is It Ok to Get Brows Waxed?

2 weeks is fine to go get your eyebrows waxed after botox, probably only a day or two would be sufficient.

I allow my patients to wax their eyebrows the day after Botox.  If you need to see your new shape of the eyebrows after Botox, then you may want to wait for two weeks or however long it takes to get the full effect of the Botox prior to 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.

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.

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.

Two weeks is plenty of time. I usually recommend 24 hours, but this varies between doctors/ injectors.

Hello there, and thanks
for your question! I recommend that patients keep their heads upright and
refrain from manipulating the area for several hours after a BOTOX® treatment.
This allows the product to evenly distribute. After 2 weeks, it's highly
unlikely that eyebrow waxing would have any effect on your BOTOX results.
Theoretically, it would be permissible to wax your eyebrows as soon as the day
after treatment.

You can have your eyebrows waxed the day after your Botox treatments.  No need to wait for two weeks.

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.

Yes it is completely safe to have your eyebrows waxed two weeks following Botox injections.
