you can do botox and lasers on the same day, I find that doing the botox prior to co2 is likely going to give you a better result. Best, Dr. Emer.
My approach for CO2 laser is to pre-treat with Botox so that the skin heals without tension from muscle contractions, then allow 3-6 months for collagen to build. At that follow-up visit I review Visia scans and then fill in residual areas (lines, creases) with filler.Botox before, filler after.Good luck!
In the big picture is really doesn't matter. The laser will improve the intrinsic quality of the skin and the Botox and fillers work differently. I would recommend doing the CO2 first, then see what else you may need 3-4 months after the laser.Best of luck

Typically this scar responds best to subcision and fillers. Lasers and microneedling can help. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
The heart of this question boils down to the initial phase of healing after creating a very controlled wound. It is truly a wound healing response that we are manipulating for a cosmetic benefit, so with that idea of having a wound in mind, you need some sort of a "dressing." Initially that o...
