Does Laser Hair Removal treatment after Juvederm fillers affect the longevity

Question

Hello Got juvederm voluma in my cheeks and chin 5 months back Is laser hair removal safe after juvederm - will it affect the longevity of the fillers ?

Janet Allenby, DO · Answer

Hello,

Thank you for your question. It is completely safe to have hair removal over areas that have filler. It will not effect the longevity. Good luck!

Thank you for your question!  We have our patients wait 2 weeks after injection for any laser treatment.   At 5 months you should be fine to have laser treatments without any affect of your filler.  Best of luck!

Thank you for
your question Pikky. Voluma is a
filler used to enhance the appearance of the face. I recommend that my patients wait one week after a Voluma treatment before having a laser treatment. After that there should be no concern of the laser affecting the filler. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

At 5 months post injection, you are perfectly fine to have laser hair removal. I wouldn't, however, ever advise you to do it immediately following a treatment.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

I wouldn't recommend getting laser hair removal immediately after your Voluma procedure, but at 5 months, you are totally fine. Voluma doesn't' move or migrate so don't worry.

Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal does not affect Juvederm fillers. However it is always best, to get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Faiyaaz Kalimullah, MD, FAAD · Answer

This is a great question.  I generally don't recommend having a laser treatment immediately after filler injections on the same day.  However, after 5 months, laser hair removal should have no impact on the effectiveness or longevity of your Voluma.

Kristin J. Tarbet, MD, FACS · Answer

I recommend 2 weeks between fillers and laser, however hair removal laser should not affect the Voluma

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

Laser hair removal will not affect your Voluma injections. The longevity of the filler will not be affected. Good luck with your laser hair removal treatment!

Kristine Romine, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Laser hair removal will not affect the
longevity of Voluma.  I make it my
practice to not perform any laser treatment within two weeks of filler
injections however, beyond that lasers are unlikely to affect longevity.
