Can Laser Resurfacing and Wrinkle Fillers Be Combined?

The beauty of advanced aesthetic treatments today is that most can be combined if appropriate and desirable. While laser resurfacing and wrinkle fillers can be safely combined, I would generally not do these two procedures together. You might consider the laser resurfacing treatment first, and reserve any wrinkle filler treatments to address any residual problems that were not completed solved with the laser treatment.

Overall facial rejuvenation is often best achieved with a combination of Fillers, Laser resurfacing,and Botox.  For example, I often combine Botulinum toxin treatment for prominent forehead lines, fillers for volume restoration in the midface and smile lines, and Matrix fractional CO2 laser treatments for lines around the mouth and eyes.

Fillers can be used in conjunction with laser resurfacing, often on the same day.  Occasionally it is best to wait until after recovery from the laser, however, to achieve ideal, long-lasting results.

Hi awalk.  The answer to your question is yes.  For the laser resurfacing we perform, it does not penetrate the skin to the same depth as the dermal fillers are placed.  

Hypothetically, it is possible that the resurfacing (specifically deep fractional) could penetrate to the same depth.  In this case, your practitioner should ask you to hold off on the injection treatments until after the deep resurfacing takes place.
