Sue Ellen Cox, MD · Answer

Yes! You canabsolutely do the Fraxel laser treatment after dermal fillers. I usuallyrecommend waiting at least 2 weeks in between the two treatments to reduceinflammation, however, there have been studies to show that the Fraxel laserdoes not affect dermal fillers at all.

A Fraxel treatment 3 months after dermal fillers in your cheeks should not be any issue.  Just let your provider know beforehand and you should have nothing to worry about.

Laser treatments shouldn’t have negative effect on dermal fillers. But I still advise my patients to wait for some time. 3 months is long enough for your fillers to settle therefore it is safe for you to undergo Fraxel treatment. Good luck!

There are several studies showing there is no effect on fillers with laser procedures. I would have no hesitation about doing the Fraxel laser. In fact, they can be performed on the same day.
