Answer: Botox after radiation Thank you for your question judyrutko. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Radiation and chemotherapy may decrease wound healing. Therefore I recommend waiting 6-12 months after such treatments before laser resurfacing. In the case of Botox, however, recent radiation is not a contraindication. That being said, the safety and efficacy of Botox has not been tested on those with recent raidation. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
