Can I have photodynamic therapy if I have filler in my face?

Question

I am planning to do photodynamic therapy a month after my regular filler appointment. I have restlyn and dysport usually put in my cheeks and lips. With photodynamic therapy cause a change in the way the filler has settled?

Thanks for your question.  You can definitely proceed safely with your PDT, especially if it has been a month since your neurotoxin and fillers were placed.  Please see an expert and make sure you clear it with your dermatologist, but I think it will be fine.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. PDT should not have an affect to your fillers and neurotoxin treatments,  and waiting a month out should be perfectly fine. However it would be best to consult with your provider prior to treatment. Best of luck.

Yes - you can have photodynamic therapy probably as soon as one week after filler in the area.
