Can I use LED light therapy after Voluma?

Question

I recently had 2 syringes of Voluma administered in my cheeks and Botox in my 11's. I am wondering if I can continue using my personal LED device Lightstim? LightStim for Wrinkles has 72 LEDs of Amber, Light Red, Dark Red, and Infrared. Will using this device dissolve the Voluma faster?

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your Voluma treatment.  You can continue to use your Lightstim without it affecting the longevity or appearance of your Voluma.  Hope this helps.

The LED light will not affect the Voluma or the Botox. Voluma is injected deeply into the dermis, while Botox is administered to muscles. LED light therapy only treats the surface of your skin. It doesn’t reach down far enough to affect Voluma or Botox. Combining therapies is actually the most effective way to get good results.Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist whenever you get injections into your face.

Yes, this is fine. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Voluma. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

No need to worry, you can continue to use your LED device without causing any issues with your Voluma or Botox. It will not cause breakdown of the Voluma or make the Botox wear off faster.

Of course you can! Voluma is placed in the deep dermis, and is biological behavior is not affected by any external light/LED therapy. We often perform picosecond rejuvenation the same day we do fillers.
