Thank you for sharing your question. The day following Botox is fine to be treated with a laser (I prefer the erbium.) I usually wait a week so the the area of treatment with Botox is not moving. This helps with the lines not reforming since the collagen is stimulated by the laser and movement impairs it.Good luck,
If you’ve already had Botox, you don’t have to wait more than a couple of days before doing a laser peel. The laser will treat your skin, while Botox is working on the muscle. Ideally, just to save yourself time, you can get them both done on the same day. Generally, I do a laser resurfacing and then move on to neuromodulators and/or dermal fillers, if necessary. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who can offer you a number of options to rejuvenate your face.
I would start a combination of fractional lasers and Melapeels immediately after Botox injections. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
Thanks for your query. Generally Botox takes 7-10 days to show its full effects. You can keep a gap of maximum 15 days for your procedure. Hope it helps.All The Best
If you've had Botox, you can safely do other procedures the very next day. Some procedures can be done the same day, but only if the y're done first and the Botox last. If something creates swelling, it may not be wise to do Botox, or if massaging is part of the after care, it's very important not to manipulate the Botox-treated areas. It's important to see an experienced dermatologist who understands what procedures can be combined.
You can have Botox and laser peels the same day. I generally would do the laser first such as V-Beam or Fraxel laser and the Botox afterwards. There is no reason to wait until the following week since these two procedures can be done at the same time. Best, Dr. Green
Doing Botox the same day, or soon before, laser peeling depends upon how deep the laser peeling will be. For superficial laser peeling, it is perfectly safe to do Botox the same day. I feel that for deep laser peeling, it may be best to wait until the skin is healed before doing Botox or do Botox at least a day before the laser peel. There are not necessarily studies to support this but just anecdotally, with a deep laser peel you can get a lot of swelling and theoretically you could get some diffusion of the Botox if it is done at the same time.
There are several things to consider first the botox was administered in specific places should the laser require a distance gauge pressing on the skin at all times then the botox could be spread to areas that were not intended to receive the botox.Second Botox is a heat sensitive protein and its it likely the heat from the laser would reduce if not destroy the potency. Depending on the laser treatment I have performed botox after a laser however not after one where there is bulk heating of the skin. In that case I wait a few days.
I wait a few days after Botox for lasers. If done at the same time, it is possible to spread the Botox into areas you don't want the Botox to be.
the Picosure laser is the newest and best laser for improving irregular pigmentation on your face with virtually no downtime for almost all patients!!!!!! it is not readily available but worth searching for. it is a fairly new laser and it is expensive to buy so you may have to do some searching.david berman md
An MLP is a minimally invasive procedure with some downtime. As an example the MLP is like mowing the lawn where a Fraxel or Fractional Resurfacing is like aerating the grass. MLP mows the lawn –so there is some downtime but there is no oozing or bleeding. The s...
Microlaser peel is abroad term and used loosely by many practitioners. For a laser to be effective, in not only taking brown spots off but also to tighten the skin, it needs to penetrate deeper than just the top corneal layer of the skin. Very superficial laser peels result in only a t...
Thanks for our query. It’s a long time to settle the redness. I believe you should consult your treating doctor and discuss about the problem. Hope it helps.All The Best
