Can I have Botox the day before microneeedling?

Hello! Having Botox the DAY before is fine. I would not recommend it immediately prior but at 24 hours you should be fine. If you are doing them the same day, the microdneedling should come first. Enjoy!

I often combine these procedures on the same day, although theoretically many think you should not as there is risk of spreading the Botox to areas you did not want it to go.  I have not found this to occur whether the Botox is injected first or later.  Botox takes 2 weeks to work completely.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox injections 24 hours prior to microneedling should be perfectly fine.  Botox injections are performed in a layer of facial tissue beneath the skin.  Microneedling is performed within the more superficial layers of the skin.  I would wait the 24 hours only because microneedling requires some pressure when it is being performed and you should avoid pressure to your face where Botox has been placed for at least 24 hours to prevent inadvertent dispersal of the Botox.

Thank you for your question.I would avoid having Botox placed a day before microneedling, assuming the microneedling is done in the same area as the Botox.  Pressure on areas soon after Botox injection could "push" the Botox to areas where you don't want it and cause problems.  I'd either do the microneedling first, or wait a few days after the Botox to get it done.  However, that's just me.  I would talk with your plastic surgeon about their thoughts, and they should guide you appropriately.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

Thanks for your question. Likely yes, but check in with your PS just in case. If the treated areas are separate It should not be a problem. If it is the same area you may want to avoid the botox treated segment  or wait a few days so that the microneedling does not pust the botox into the wrong areas.Best wishes.
