Can You Get a Professional Facial As Well As Botox Done on the Same Day?

 It is quite common to receive a number of cosmetic dermatologic treatments on the same day when you are being injected with Botox. It's important to remember, however, that Botox takes a few hours to settle into the muscle it is meant to affect. Therefore, you cannot manipulate your skin for several hours after injection (or to be safer, 24 hours). That means that Botox is injected a day or more before all massages, facials, laser treatments, microdermabrasian, chemical peels, etc.. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has many years' experience with injecting Botox as an anti-aging treatment to get the best results. 

If you have the facial first, then it should be okay. Rubbing and touching the general areas treated with Botox can increase the risk of spreading to undesirable areas, which is why the facial must be done first.

There are some concerns with displacing the Botox from vigorous facial manipulation. I generally do not see a problem with the facial first an Botox second. However, I would not do this the other way around.

Yes, it is fine to have a facial and Botox on the same day.  I would suggest the facial first and then the Botox.  We frequently do chemical peels and Botox at the same visit to the office.  Good luck.

Absolutelyan you can have bot Botox and a facial done the same day but the facial must be first! Otherwise the facial could manipulate the positioning of the Botox if the botox were done first.

You can get Botox and a facial on the same day.  You should get the facial first, then Botox.   

It is very common to multiple procedures at the same time.  It is possible to do both the facial and the BOTOX at the same time.  Much depends on exactly what type of facial you are getting and precisely how the BOTOX is being done.  If your injector uses relatively few injections, you are a greater risk that this injection fluid can be pushed around during the facial.  Having the facial first will reduce the small risk associated with this manipulation.

yes you can get a facial and botox done on the same day but do the facial first then the botox can be done right away or if you do the botox first then you should wait a few hours to get the facial since you will be laying down for the facial and the botox might travel alittle.  We don't really know if botox will travel or not but just to be on the safe side you should wait a little time.  Sincerely,

A facial would displace Botox so please make sure you do the facial first. It's a great idea to combine dermatologic procedures on the same day to save time. But do make sure they're performed in the correct order. A board-certified dermatologist will work with you to time your treatments so that you get the most of each of them.

It is perfectly fine to get a facial and Botox on the same day, but you absolutely must do the facial first. After Botox has been injected into dynamic muscles, it needs a few hours to settle. Manipulating the face could disperse the Botox into places where you would not want it. Please visit a board-certified dermatologist for a consultation to find out how Botox and facials can help keep age at bay.
