Is it ok to get Botox injections 2 days after eyebrows tattoo?

Question

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

It is completely fine to have botox after you've had your eyebrows done.  The injections of botox are much deeper than where the tattoo is.

Philip S. Schoenfeld, MD, FACS · Answer

Botox is extremely safe when injected correctly.  Eyebrow tattooing is performed in the layer of the skin called the dermis.  Botox is injected deep to the skin into the muscle underlying the skin.  There should be absolutely no interaction of these two treatments.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox injections are rarely placed in or around the eyebrows so it should be safe for you to have treatment performed.  Hope this helps.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have Botox 2 days after having your eyebrows tattooed.  These treatments should not interact with each other.

Thank you for your question.  As long as you are healing well and there is no sign of infection, there should be no contraindication to having a Botox treatment two days after permanent makeup tattoos.  Best of luck!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

If the eyebrows are ok and there is no evidence of infection, then Botox should be ok to be used. You could wait a week to be sure.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

In general, there should be no problem with Botox two days after eyebrow tattoos. The exception would be if you are having Botox for glabella (frown lines, elevens) and/or brow lift and there is redness or scabbing in the area, extending beyond the tattoo and suggesting possible infection. Make sure to advise the doctor of the recent tattooing just as you would advise of any recent medical procedure, injury or change in medications. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question sil13vis. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with
facial expression. As long as there is not redness, irritation, swelling, or infection in the area having a tattoo on the brow a few days prior is not a contraindication to receiving Botox treatments. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Melvin Elson, MD · Answer

it depends on where the injections are to be done and whether you have any crusts in the area. If you are seeking a brow lift be sure your doctor knows that the brows have been changed
