Can I do Hifu and Botox jaw slimming one week apart? If yes which one should I do first?

Question

I'm planning to get hifu and botox jaw slimming done next month. And I'm wondering if both can be done at the same month but may be one week apart. Is it advisable ? If yes which one should be done first ?

Hi There I take it that you have had botox to your jaw already as a lot of people are not suitable for it but less reputable practitioners would do it anyway and charge the patient regardless.The answer depends on the HIFU machine but essentially the botox is going in to the masseter muscle and HIFU treats skin so there should be no issue.Probably botox first would be safer as there is less risk of spreading.Good Luck Kind Regards Dr Dinesh Maini

Hi!
There is no clear answer to this- some providers may space out the treatments, others may do it at the same time. 
Personally i would do both together at the same session- HIFU first followed by Botox jaw. This has been my practice for years with good results

Thank you for your question. It depends on what HIFU machine will be used. However, there should be no issue, as the HIFU treats the skin and the Botox is going into the masseter muscle. I would suggest starting with Botox first as it would be safer as there is less risk of spreading. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
