Can I have botox injected on my face (mainly forehead) before a Fraxel treatment or should I wait and have it done afterwards ? Thanks.
Answer: Fraxel and Botox can be done together
Fraxel and Botox can be done together. In fact, they are a very nice combination therapy.

Answer: Botulinum Toxin and Fraxel
This depends on the advise of the practitioner but I do not see a contra-indication in the use of Botulinum Toxin prior to Fraxel

Answer: Botox prior to Fraxel
The inhibition of muscle movement, and thereby reducing the ability of the skin to crease in recently laser resurfaced skin is thought to be advantageous. As it takes Botox several days to two weeks to produce the maximum onset of effectiveness, it is prudent to inject Botox or Dysport one to two weeks prior to laser resurfacing.

Answer: Botox and Fraxel
Yes, you can have Botox. Botox will work to reduce your dynamic wrinkles and Fraxel will work to reduce your fine lines. Good luck.

Answer: Botox with Fraxel
I would recommend you discussing this with your provider in detail as some practitioners prefer to give Botox prior to resurfacing with ablative or fractional laser and some prefer to treat after resurfacing. It works well in both cases as it helps to relax the dynamic creases of the face whereas the laser resurfacing will help improve the overall skin texture and fine lines. Best Regards,
