The person hasn't started laser hair removal on my underarms YET, but am wondering if these two treatments can be done at the same time or if the botox interferes with the laser treatment.
Answer: Botox treatment of underarm sweating and laser hair removal
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.

Answer: Botox after Laser Hair Removal...
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.

Answer: Laser hair removal and botox for armpit sweating
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.

Answer: Botox at the Same Time as Laser Hair Removal?
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.

Answer: Can Botox Injections for Axillary Hyperhidrosis be Combined with Laser Hair Removal Treatments
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.
