I recently had my eyebrows microbladed. How long should I wait before receiving Xeomin injections?

Question

I am on day 5 of the 14 day healing process.

Hi and thank you for your question! The two treatments are quite independent of each other, so as long as there is no visible redness or other lesions on the skin, you can go ahead with getting the Xeomin. I hope it helps and good luck!

You can have a Xeomin treatment now. It shouldn't interfere with your Xeomin treatment or your results. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If you do Microblading 1st you can do botox same day. However, if you get Botox 1st you need to wait a few days before doing microblading to make sure any manipulation from microblading doesn't affect botox injections and they don't get dispersed in the wrong direction. Always consult with a board certified practitioner for your Xeomin treatment.

I would recommend waiting until after the 14 days. With microblading the skin surface can become irritated and this may be increased with the injections

Carmen A. Traywick, MD, FAAD · Answer

Both treatments are separate from each other. It would be fine to get Xeomin after microblading but not before. Next step for you is to consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and options. Hope this helps.

Hi there! As long as your brows are outlined, you are safe to get Xeomin. Xeomin can raise or lower your brows (depending on how it is injected), so please be aware that it could change the appearance of your brows. I suggest receiving a consultation from a professional in your area.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Both treatments are separate from each other so you should be ok with getting Xeomin after microblading. I recommend getting a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Hello ProfessionalDesigner,As soon as the redness has calmed you can have your Xeomin done.Best to you,

Elyas Parsa, DO · Answer

Once your skin is healed from the microblading and you don't have any significant redness it is ok to get Xeomin done. If you want to be very conservative you can wait about 2 weeks in between treatments. Thank you!

ProfessionalDesigner,
Since microbladding involves precise pigment placement in the brow skin, whereas Xeomin is injected into the muscles underneath the skin, they work in two different layers of the face. The only restriction of getting Xeomin after microbladding would be to allow the pigment to take hold after microbladding, which can be "smudged" if the injector is not careful and injects near the eyebrows. At five days out the ink should likely be set. Nonetheless, it is always prudent to communicate with your injector to let her or him know of any treatment done in an area to be injected. Hope this helps!
