Can A person Get Botox To their Underarms If Also Having Laser Hair Removal Done?

Both Botox and laser hair removal can be done in the axilla. The Botox can be injected up to a couple of days before the laser so there is no theoretical negative effect of the laser on the Botox.  Botox can be done a week after the laser safely.

In general, I would not perform laser hair removal and Botox at the same time in the same area.  After laser hair removal, you may have to rub in lotion or treat the area, and massage or rubbing of the area shouldn't occur after Botox treatment.  Give yourself one week inbetween procedures.  Then you can be assured that you will have no problems with either result.  They don't interact or interfere directly with each other though.

Yes you can do the laser hair removal in the same time period as botox for sweating. I agree with most of the answers and wouldn't do them on the same day. We don't have research data that I know of, but it seems that the inflammation from the laser may cause the botox protein to bind less effectively - which means you could have a reduced response to the botox and need to get treatment for your sweating sooner. So, unless you have other reasons (travel time, or difficulty with 2 separate appointments), I would favor spacing the treatments out by 1-3 weeks.

Hello.  Anytime we have a patient undertaking injection procedures and laser procedures at the same time and in the same location, we suggest having the injections after the laser.  This is the safest way to avoid any conflict between the treatment.

Scheduled your Botox 1-2 weeks after the laser treatments and you will do just fine with both.

Botox injections for excessive underarm sweating should not be performed at the same time as a laser hair removal treatment. Botox does not interfere with the laser treatment, but the laser treatment may interfere with the activity of the Botox.

If Botox is injected into the under arm it should be done at least one week prior to the hair removal treatment; this will ensure the Botox has had time to work effectively. You may find that it reduces the pain associated with the hair removal treatment. If Botox is injected in the underarm after a hair removal treatment, it should be performed after any swelling or redness from the hair removal has subsided; so one week following hair removal should be fine.

You can inject Botox for armpit swelling a few days prior to the laser hair removal.  It will make the laser hair removal slightly less uncomfortable.  Injecting Botox after the laser treatment is OK as well.

We have a large hyperhidrosis practice and we routinely see and treat patients that have both hyperhidrosis and who are seeking laser hair removal. You can have laser hair removal procedures a day before and a day after treatment with Botox for hyperhidrosis. 

I would recommending spacing laser hair removal and Botox injection by one to two weeks.  Probably not medical reason but it makes since to divide them up since it may effect the spread of Botox.  

depending on doctor preference, you can have both done at the same session, perhaps with the botox a few moments before or slightly after the laser hair treatment...or you could wait for an hour or so between the treatments or you could wait a day or more...there's more mumbo jumbo than science involved...nothing's written in stone...ask your doctor...you'll find multiple answers without any science backing any of them...both work either individually or separately...a win-win situation...

There is no problem having Botox for underarm hyperhidrosis and laser hair removal.  I would do the Botox at least one day before the laser treatment or a few days after, as long as there is no irritation from the laser.
