Accidentally used Clarisonic brush on face after botox?

It is perfectly safe to use a Clarisonic cleaner after receiving Botox. Botox is a fast-acting neuromodulator that generally settles into the muscles within a few seconds. You probably have no cause for concern. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in Botox if you fail to see results from your Botox treatment.

Botox is injected into the muscle.  Though it is probably best to avoid using the Clairsonic for 24 hours after injection, you will not likely notice any difference in your treatment results.

You probably did no harm to your Botox by scrubbing with a Clarisonic brush; however, I'd advise against doing it again the next time you have Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. These neuromodulators may take a couple of hours to work. Manipulating the muscles before the Botox has settled may cause it to migrate to another area you don't want to treat. More likely, however, you could irritate your skin or cause bruising by using a harsh cleansing tool after your injections. You may feel a little bruised or sore after Botox, even without scrubbing. Be gentler with your face next time. Your board-certified dermatologist can give you more tips on how to get the most out of Botox during your next appointment.

Thank you for your question. While I would recommend against using your Clarisonic for 24 hours after your the injection of any neuromodulator, it is unlikely you will suffer an untoward event as a result. Neuromodulators such as Xeomin are absorbed fairly rapidly. If you used the Clarisonic within a few hours of the injections, I would be more concerned. I wish you the best - Dr. Moore.

My belief is that it is difficult to truly spread Botox significantly with something as gentle as a Clarisonic. Watch for any unexpected results, but I wouldn't worry too much.
