Microneedling TWO days after filler and botox. Will the microneedling impact either?

Question

I got filler in the hollows of my eyes and botox in my crow's feet. Two days later I got microneedling but the tech made sure to steer clear of those areas... but I notice it's close. Will the microneedling impact either? Thanks!

Thank you for your question, Microneedling can be done the same day as fillers, it will not impact the fillers or botox injections. I hope this was helpful. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Undergoing microneedling treatment two days after receiving botox and filler should not negatively impact those results. Botox will have been taken up by your muscles by that point, and the microneedling device does not penetrate deeply enough to disturb filler. There's nothing wrong with avoiding those areas to be extra cautious, but the results of your botox and filler injections should be unchanged. You can always consult with the provider regarding your concerns and to assess your results.

Hello. Thank you for your questions. The Botox will not be affected, but the filler might. Usually we tell people not to mess with the area they were injected with filler for 72 hours. If she stayed clear of where you had it placed, you should be fine.

The microneedling will not effect the botox and filler. Botox absorbs in quickly. Filler  is placed deeper than where the microneedling goes. There shouldnt be any issues.
