Getting Botox a day after your microdermabrasion should be fine. More important, you don't want to take the risk of displacing the neuromodulator through the tug-and-pull of microdermabrasion and possibly relaxing the wrong muscles. Please do consult a board-certified dermatologist about your anti-aging procedures so you can have the best treatments in the best time frames.
What you don't want to do is have Botox done right before microdermabrasion in which the treatment might push the Botox around in the first hour to four after the injections. If you have Botox the day before or week before to relax the muscles and cause less skin creases, the microdermabrasion may cause an additive smoothness of the surface of the skin. Microdermabrasion can be done the day after Botox without concern of moving the Botox around.
I'd suggest either doing the microdermabrasion before your Botox or wait several days after Botox. Once you have received your Botox injections, you will need to wait at least 48 hours before manipulating your skin in any way. That includes microdermabrasion, massage, or just rubbing your face. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out how microdermabrasion and Botox can help rejuvenate your appearance.
Yes, you do need to wait at least 24 to 48 hours after Botox before having microdermabrasion. Having the procedure done before Botox would be fine. Please be sure to find a board-certified dermatologist to help you with Botox and microdermabrasion.
It would be absolutely fine to have Botox after microdermabrasion (although the treated area should be well cleaned), although I would definitely not do this in the reverse order. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
There should be no problem getting Botox injections immediately after microdermabrasion. The reverse, however, is NOT safe. After injections, any procedure that creates pressure on areas treated with Botox can cause the medication to disperse, leading to unwanted muscle paralysis.
I do not recommend patients rub or massage their faces for about 24 hours after Botox. Thus, I would recommend you do the microdermabrasion first. You can follow immediately after with a Botox treatment.
There is a suggestion that many physicians propose to their patients which is to exercise the muscles that were just treated with Botox. This theory, which has never been proven, asserts that the exercise might deplete the nerve-muscle junction of the acetylcholoine, the normal...
Thank you for your question. You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4. The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues. In our office we have patients come back at...
Contrary to what panel members are suggesting, we have had personal experience with a staff member that developed an allergy to both Dysport and Botox that was not an immediate response but progressed to this because she was unaware of the link to the Botox injections. We have also met two ...
