If IPL is done prior to Botox, will heat generated in face from IPL-related inflammation (side effect) cause Botox migration?

I know you should not have heat on your face for 6 hours after Botox to decrease likelihood of migration. I know that many doctors do IPL 1st followed by Botox same day. My concern is that a common side effect of IPL is inflammation & redness, and these side effects generate heat in your face. I know heat/facial flushing immediately after Botox can cause migration. If IPL is done prior to Botox, will heat generated in face from IPL-related inflammation (side effect) cause Botox migration?
