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.

I would agree with my colleagues that a facial treatment prior to Botox/ Dysport injection is safe. I would advise you to avoid a facial immediately after Botox/ Dysport treatment as this can result in excessive spread or diffusion of the product.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

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.
