How long after a client has had botox and lip fillers can a Dermaplane be done?

Question

How long after a client has had botox and lip fillers can a dermaplane be done? I'm gettin mixed messages from different people and I want to be clear I don't cause any damage. Some say after couple of days, some say 7 days, some say couple of weeks. Is there a clear answer anywhere? Thanks

We recommend waiting 2 weeks after any injections before having dermaplaning done. This way we can ensure that your Botox and filler has settled nicely.

Hello Danniidink my name is Melanie I am a Medical Aesthetician at Aesthetic Skin located in Chicago, IL. It is always recommended to wait the full 2 weeks after your injectables to have any type of facial services. I hope this helped!

Hi,

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment. You would not be able to lay down right after Botox so that would be the only restriction after, other than that you can wait a couple days after Botox to allow it to settle. For fillers I would recommend waiting for 2-3 weeks post treatment to have dermaplaning done. This is because we want the filler to settle and not be moved.

7-14 days. As an overall rule I would recommend 14 days to be safe. For someone familiar with these treatments, and knowing how they usually react, 7 days will not be an issue as they know what to expect.
