Is It Safe to 1. Wear Swim Goggles; and 2. Have Microdermabrasion After Botox?

I advise my patients not to press on or massage the treated areas for at least 4 hours after Botox treatment.  This includes lying down or performing any physical activity such as swimming or getting facial treatments. Botox is injected into a specific set of muscles to exert a specific effect.  After 4 hours, the medication has been absorbed and you minimize the risk of having the Botox unintentionally affect the wrong facial muscles.

After a BOTOX service, the skin is fully intact in a couple of days.  A properly done microderm abrasion should not damage the barrier function of the skin.  However, if you are red, or scab, very different story.  If that is the case, wait until the scab is gone or the redness has resolved.  Fillers services are another kettle of fish.  For these we want you to be a 2 weeks out before wearing swimmer's goggles.
