Does smoking (vaping) affect the results of a Botox eyebrow lift?

Question

Does vaping after getting a Botox eyebrow lift affect/delay the result?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. No, vaping will not impact your Botox results. However, nicotine does tend to age the skin much faster. If you want to maintain your youthful appearance for as long as possible, I recommend kicking the habit.

No studies show that smoking or vaping significantly affect botox. Although you should note that smoking does not do good to the skin. Consult with your doctor to know more about this treatment.

Dear Avalaanch, 
The simple answer is no, it will not immediately affect the results of a Botox browlift injection. 
All the best!

Smoking/Vaping after a Botox treatment will not impact the results of your treatment.  Final results are seen after 2 weeks and typically the effects will gradually fade over 3 to 4 months.

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

Smoking or vaping will have no effect on the immediate results of Botox. However, you are using Botox not only to elevate your eyebrows but to reduce the wrinkling in the injected areas and smoking or vaping markedly reduces the effectiveness of this. You are also significantly speeding the aging of your skin. Since you are obviously concerned with your looks, the best thing you can do is stop smoking or vaping (it is the nicotine in each that does the damage to the skin).
