I was wondering if a co2 fractional laser or any other laser would affect a dermal filler in my face??
Answer: CO2 Laser After Fillers Fillers are generally placed in the deeper layers of the skin, beneath the skin, or in the deeper layers of the face. CO2 lasers generally treat the top half of the skin. That said CO2 lasers do generate heat which could potentially effect the underlying fillers perhaps causing them to dissolve or resorb quicker. For this reason we generally wait two weeks after fillers before performing any laser treatments which involve significant heat to the face.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Filler After Laser If the filler has been placed deep under the skin, the laser should not affect it. It might however reduce prominence of the filler in more superficial areas, such as the lip boarder. Christian Drehsen, MD

Answer: Laser treatment after filler That is a great question. In my experience, the laser should not affect your filler. If you wanted to steer on the side of caution you could do the filler and wait a week to do the laser treatment. But that is not necessary and you should not have any problems doing them on the same day.

Answer: I generally avoid fillers and lasers on the same day Fillers are placed deeper than lasers penetrate. But as a safe practice and to avoid overdoing things, I generally do not do fillers and C02 fractional laser on the same day. I like to separate these procedures by a few weeks to gauge the result of one before starting another.
