Typically, I ask patients to wait 1-2 weeks after Botox/Dysport treatment before having any skin tightening or laser treatments. I suspect you will be fine at 1 week out but I would mention it to your physician prior to your HIFU treatment.
Thank you for asking about having HIFU (or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) one week after you have had Botox injections. You can most definitely have HIFU during this timeframe. I would not advise anyone to have HIFU (or any other treatment in the same area) within the first 24 hours of having Botox injections, and so 7 days is absolutely fine. Good luck with your treatment!
Any procedure that raises the temperature of the skin can cause swelling and fluid accumulation in the skin which could cause the Botox to migrate if done immediately. Heat in the skin can also cause the Botox to wear off sooner. It is best to wait a week to ten days after Botox to do laser, ultrasound or radiofrequency treatments. Keeping the muscles relaxed with Botox before and after these treatments however, can produce better correction of wrinkles. Discuss the timing with your doctor. All the best to you. Alexis Parker MD

Yes, it is possible to place a small amount of Botox in the forehead wrinkles which are probably the result of the ptosis present in the upper lid. The ptosis itself should subside in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Hi,Thank you for your question.We usually wait 2 weeks after fat grafting to administer botox or dysport to allow some healing to occur and inflammation to reduce. Botox should not affect the fat grafting results as it is injected into the muscle and diffuses readily. It will likely work s...
Thank you very much for your question and congratulations on your recent Botox treatment. There should be no reason that bending over, on the same afternoon as your injections, will cause any issues. You should expect your Botox results to appear over the next couple of weeks without any unusual...
Hi, and thank you for your query. I would recommend that you tell both practitioners of any upcoming (or recent) procedures. I don’t think either will affect the other, but it would be good practice to keep them informed. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question. You’re describing a situation where you’re away from home for a rhinoplasty for hump reduction and tip surgery for a bulbous tip. You are asking if 6 days after is too early to get Botox® for crow’s feet and forehead lines. You are now at day 2, and your eyes are fa...
