Will Electrolysis after Botox affect my results?

Question

I got 4 units of Botox above my upper lip - a “lip flip” - and 3 days later had thermolysis electrolysis done on my upper lip. Will this affect my results? Will it cause spreading of the Botox into other areas or anything else as a result? Also, when is it okay to get a facial after Botox? I’m reading so many different things varying from 24 hours to 2 weeks. I’m really concerned I really negatively affected my results. Please advise!!!

Dear annabelle11,I would follow the instructions of the person who injected you. He/she will know exactly what was done and have a protocol. In my practice, for a small lip injected like what you have described I would be OK with electrolysis and a facial 48 hours after injection. Best regards,Nirmal R.

Having electrolysis 3 days after Botox should not cause a problem.  Always seek treatment form a qualified physician.

Selena Lantry, MD · Answer

Assuming that your Botox was properly injected, the Electrolysis 3 days later would not affect the results from your Botox treatment.

Thankyou for your question. Botox is absorbed by 4 hours. Having electrolysis after 3 days is absolutely fine. You can definitely have a facial the day after botox . You donot need to be concerned.Hope this helps
