IPL under eyes, day after getting Botox in forehead

Question

I am getting botox in my forehead only. Is it okay to get ipl laser the next day ONLY under my eyes (not where botox was injected). The ipl is only to help stubborn bruises that are lingering 4 weeks after facial fat-grafting. Unfortunately, it's how my appointments are falling and I just want to make sure one won't affect the other.

Hello, Ms. Spencer! I'm Landry - an aesthetician at Shah Aesthetics located in both the Chicago and Winnetka areas. Since you're waiting at least 24 hours to receive IPL for undereye bruising, you will be fine. Just let your practitioner know where the Botox has been injection so they can be aware of treatment history.

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

As long as you are not treating over the area that was injected that is fine. You don't want to go over the area that was injected for at least 2 weeks post injections so the product isn't getting moved around.

You can definitely get Botox after having IPL done in a different area and you can even get IPL done unrelated to Botox but may be best to wait 24 hours later. You are having it done in a completely different are though so not to worry.
