Will Skinwave affect Botox and dermal fillers?

Question

I would like to try Skinwave to target dryness and enlarged pores in the cheeks and forehead. Would this procedure have any negative effects on patients with botox or dermal filler? How does it affect injectables?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Skinwave is generally considered safe to use alongside Botox and dermal fillers, as it is a non-invasive treatment that focuses on exfoliation, hydration, and antioxidant infusion. Here are some key points to consider:

Timing: It is typically recommended to wait at least one to two weeks after receiving Botox or dermal fillers before undergoing Skinwave treatment. This allows the injectables to settle properly and minimizes the risk of displacement or interference with their effects.

Procedure Effects: Skinwave primarily targets the outer layers of the skin and should not affect the deeper layers where Botox and fillers are active. The treatment can enhance skin hydration and texture, complementing the results of injectables by improving overall skin appearance.

Consultation: It is essential to discuss your specific case with your dermatologist or aesthetic provider. They can evaluate your skin condition, treatment history, and goals to ensure that combining these procedures is appropriate for you.

Dr. Anna Chacon, a dermatologist, can provide expert guidance on integrating Skinwave treatments with Botox and dermal fillers to achieve optimal results without compromising the effects of your injectables.
