Can you have PRP for hair loss and Botox at the same time?

There should be no problem having PRP for hair loss and Botox on the forehead at the same time.  Either procedure could cause some temporary swelling on the forehead, but any swelling present should not affect the ultimate results.  

Swelling can occur after PRP treatment, but it should have no impact on your Botox results.  Your Botox should not migrate due to the PRP treatment symptoms.  Final results for Botox are seen two weeks after injection.

Thank you for your question.  Yes, you may have PRP Injections as well as Botox injected at the same time.  You may experience some swelling after your PRP injections but that should not affect your Botox injections.

Swelling on your forehead from PRP injections is common and should have no impact on your Botox and will not cause migration assuming the Botox was properly injected.  

It is typical to experience edema (swelling) after PRP in the forehead. Having Botox the same day should not affect the Botox injections. Hope this helps. Follow up with your injector should you have any concerns or questions. Hope this helps.

It is common to see swelling in the forhead on the day of PRP injection. It should not affect the Botox injection in the forehead done on the dame day. 

Thank you for your question Veronica83. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles.
It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam where the entire medical history is reviewed. However, I hope the information provided here is useful.The safety record of Botox is well established. The product has been used for over 20 years for a variety of treatments with minimal side effects. Botox is amongst the safest treatments for treating facial wrinkles.

While Botox is one of the safest treatments offered, there are some situations where it is not appropriate. These include anyone who has an allergy to any of the inactive ingredients or who has had an allergic reaction to any botulinum product including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Myobloc. The safety and efficacy of Botox has not been established in women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breast feeding. Therefore, women in these categories are advised to wait until breast feeding is completed prior to having a Botox treatment. Botox should not be placed in the skin on the site of an infection. Those who are taking an aminoglycoside antibiotic, an anesthetic, D-penicillamine, antimalarials, or immunosuppressants should not be treated, nor should those who have undergone chemotherapy within the previous six months. It is important to avoid blood thinners before and after a treatment. These include both prescription and non-prescription medications such as warfarin (coumadin), aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginko biloba. Those with conditions that affect muscles and nerves such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not undergo Botox treatments.Having a PRP treatment is not a contraindication to having a Botox treatment. If I had a patient with the concern described here I would say that the PRP treatment will not affect the results of the Botox treatment.With any injection, there are risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. We take special precautions to minimize these risks such as using a painless technique. We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises usually resolve within two weeks if untreated. After a laser treatment bruises usually resolve in 1-3 days, but may still take two weeks for full resolution. In addition to these risks, with Botox there is also a risk that the product spreads or diffuses to nearby structures. Spread to nearby muscles can lead to side effects such as the temporary appearance of droopy eyelids or a temporary asymmetric smile.

After a Botox treatment, I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lie down flat for four hours. This is because all of these activities may possibly lead to the movement of the product and consequent side effects such as droopy eyelids. Although there have been no definitive studies shown that these actually occur and some physicians do not provide such aftercare instructions, in the absence of data I err on the side of caution and recommend that my patients avoid such activities.

Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thanks for your question. I can't see an issue with having these treatments at the same time and swelling with either can be a normal response- however please follow the aftercare advice of not rubbing the area for around 12 hours after having Botox
