How soon can laser be done after Dysport? (photo)

Question

I had dysport today and was thinking about doing laser sometime soon. I don't want to schedule too soon after dysport.

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.You should be okay waiting about three days.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed
and certified providers for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good
candidate and that it is safe for you to have the procedure.

I hope this helps.

I would recommend a full 5-7 days before getting any laser treatments done. You want to let the injections set in and then laser treatment would be fine.

Thank you for your question.  Dysport and other toxins typically take a maximum of 2 weeks to be fully effective.  Laser treatments would be recommended after this period of time to get the full benefit of Dysport and your laser treatment.  Happy Holidays!

Thanks for your
question – and is something we hear quite often in the cosmetic field – when
can you have one procedure after just having another one. Dysport, as with the
other toxins now available, take affect within 2-3 days and are usually at
their maximum effect at 2 weeks. So based on this, wait two weeks and this
should be fine to have something else performed in the area that the Dysport
was injected.

Again, consult with
a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and make sure that you have
the proper things done in the proper order.

Dysport, like the other types of neuromodulators available (Xeomin, Botox), is thought to require approximately 48-72 hrs to begin seeing a near-full effect because the toxin needs to be taken into the nerve cell endings. Once the dysport is inside the nerve ending, it acts rapidly to create its effect and the laser radiation should not interfere with that. As a result, I usually recommend that my patients wait 1-2 weeks before having laser resurfacing, for example, such that the result is both maximal and unalterable (by the laser). Theoretically, the inflammation generated by the laser may act to increase the metabolism of the dysport, but this is only in theory. Certainly, after two weeks you should be fine. Best wishes!
