How soon after facial filler can I get laser hair removal?

Question

I recently had 2cc's of filler in my lips and chin ( Volbella) wondering how soon I can go to get my laser treatments. Thank you.

You don’t want to irritate your skin too much after injectable therapies like Volbella. As long as you have no swelling or discomfort, leaving just a couple of days after your Volbella injections before moving on to laser hair removal should be fine. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will help you come up with the perfect schedule to get the results you want.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Usually there is no specific amount of time that you need to wait. A few days should be just fine. However, if you are concerned, you can ask your provider if they have a preferred amount of wait time. Good luck!

Hi, thank you for your question! I would recommend waiting two weeks post injections for laser hair removal.

Dmitriy Schwarzburg, MD · Answer

You can get it after 5 days. You should be okay by then. Be sure to explain your situation completely to your trusted practitioner for safety.

Monica Bonakdar, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. If the area to be lasered is the same as the area that was injected with fillers, I would wait a week after your filler treatment. This would ensure that any surface skin openings are fully healed before laser hair removal treatment. 
Best of luck,
