Can I safely get Botox 2.5 weeks after BroadBand Light Laser without causing resistance or jeopardizing Botox result?

Question

I plan to get BroadBand Light Laser (BBL) on face and then get Botox 2.5 weeks later. Theoretically, would the normal, expected redness, swelling, inflammation from BBL trigger an immune response to Botox (done 2.5 wks later) and cause Botox resistance or jeopardize Botox results?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It should be fine to have Botox two and a half weeks after your laser treatment.  Your results from Botox should not be altered because of it.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your injector.

Anna Avaliani, MD · Answer

In my practice, we routinely perform laser treatments and Botox on the same day for most lasers, not all. In your case, we are routinely performing IPL/BBL laser first, and then administer Botox after. We have not seen any bad outcomes or any bad effects on the duration of the Botox results. I think you will be okay.
Good luck.

I think receiving a Botox treatment 2.5 weeks after receiving BBL is safe. You don't want to do anything two weeks after receiving Botox. i always tell me patients to reframe from facials, lasers, microneedling for two weeks after getting botox but getting BBL first and then receiving Botox 2.5 weeks later is safe.

I’m not sure where you got this concept from but I don’t think the skin treatment will have any effect on future Botox treatments. I suggest you ask your providers what their thoughts are.
