Botox and Retin-A? When I do get Botox in the glabella area, can I continue using Retin-A as my nightly regime?

Thank you for your question. You can definitely continue with your Retin-A after your Botox. Botox will help relax your 11s. I would avoid using Retin-A on the site few days before the Botox treatment to prevent any skin irritation. I would recommend daily use of SPF 30 with zinc especially when using Retin-A, which is a photosensitive medication. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question about botox.  Botox and Retin A are great products but serve different purposes.  Retin-A accelerates skin cell turn over and sheds the dead layer of skin (stratum corneum).  Botox helps address fine lines and wrinkles.  Botox is a purified protein that temporarily blocks the communication between the muscles and nerves where it is injected.  It is perfectly safe and reasonable to continue using Retin-A and receive botox at the same time.   
To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Using retin A and Botox is not a contraindication. So, you can still use your nightly regime of retin A and get your Botox.

It's perfectly fine to continue with your Retin-A at night prior to cosmetic Botox injections, and after. Botox is injected into the musculature that contributes to the "eleven's" and your topical treatment wouln't interfere.

It is perfectly fine to use Retin-A the night before having a Botox treatment and it is also fine to continue with nightly use of Retin-A after the treatment.
