How soon after a Picosure Focus treatment can I get a Voluma injection?

Question

I just had my 3rd Picosure/Focus laser treatment today and have my last one scheduled in 4 weeks. How soon after today’s treatment can I get a Voluma injection? Does the Picosure/Focus laser melt the Voluma filler? Do I have to wait the 4 weeks until my last Picosure/Ficus treatment is completed? If so, how soon after that treatment must I wait?

Feel free to have your Voluma treatment after your last laser therapy. Neither therapy will have an adverse affect on the other. However, if you usually feel tender after your Picosure session, you can also wait a day or two before moving on to Voluma. Consulting your board-certified dermatologist will help you decide how to schedule your treatments.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Depending on your comfort level you can have both treatments the same day or perhaps space them out by 24 hours.  The picosure will not impact your Voluma, and vice versa.  Hope this helps.

No, you don't have to wait. We often combine these treatments on the same day. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Voluma. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Neil Sadick, MD · Answer

You can have the treatments the same day- the laser targets the superficial layers of the skin while Voluma will be placed in the deep dermis so there shouldn't be any issue with same day treatments. Both procedures have minimal side effects and downtime

Christian N. Ford, MD · Answer

Thank you for your excellent question.  You should be able to receive both of these treatments on the same day if you wish.  Please be sure to discuss any concerns with your treating doctor during an in-person consultation in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
