I want to have fraxel (2 or 3 sessions) to even out my skin tone, minimize wrinkles, pores, small scars, age spots, but I also need injectable fillers like restylane, radiesse, juvederm in my nasolabial folds, cheekbones, under my eyes. My question is what should I do first. If I have fillers and botox first and then fraxel laser, is there a risk that the fraxel laser will destroy the fillers? How many weeks should I wait between fillers, botox and fraxel? Thanks a lot, I read conflicting info

Answer: Fraxel - Before or After Fillers Fraxel laser should not affect fillers. Still, I would advise you to wait one month so you are definitely sure your filler is settled therefore you will minimize the risk of any complications. Good luck!

Answer: Fillers After Fraxel It is controversial whether or not the heat from lasers and devices accelerate the breakdown of fillers. From my experience, it is best to have fillers injected after you complete your Fraxel treatment. I typically tell my patients to wait 1-2 weeks after fillers are injected before having Fraxel or other treatments that drive heat into the skin. Radiofrequency and ultrasound devices for skin tightening deliver heat more deeply into the skin than Fraxel laser, so I suggest waiting 2 weeks after filler placement before undergoing these treatments. I do not hesitate to treat with Botox on the same day as any laser treatment.
