Can you get laser hair removal on the face 3 days before getting dermal fillers?

hello, my name is Ranen and I am an aesthetic nurse at Aesthetic skin Chicago. It is ok to get laser hair removal on the face three days before facial filler. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 312-944-0117

Hello TinkerKell,

While it may be tempting to get filler we do suggest waiting a few weeks after any treatments. We like to keep them separated just to be safe.

When dealing with stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin texture caused by years of UV exposure, addressing the superficial surface layers alone is often insufficient. For many individuals, combining energy-based skin rejuvenation with chemical resurfacing provides a comprehensive approach to clearing discoloration and stimulating cellular renewal.
Key clinical considerations when pairing these treatments include:
Targeting Different Depths: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacials use specific light wavelengths to target and break up melanin clusters and superficial vascular redness in the deeper dermal-epidermal junction. In contrast, medical-grade chemical peels accelerate cellular turnover by exfoliating the outermost stratum corneum, lifting away surface pigment and refining overall texture.
Sequencing and Healing Timelines: To protect the skin barrier and prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, these treatments are typically performed sequentially rather than on the exact same day. Allowing adequate recovery time between sessions ensures the skin heals optimally and responds robustly to the active ingredients.
As an advanced licensed aesthetician in Portland, I frequently recommend a personalized combination of an IPL photofacial followed by a targeted chemical peel—such as a customized PCA Skin peel or advanced corrective treatment—to effectively address stubborn photodamage, brighten skin tone, and restore a luminous, even complexion.
To determine the safest and most effective sequencing for your unique skin type and pigmentation concerns, it is best to consult with an experienced skin care professional for an in-person assessment.

Yes, you can have laser hair removal treatments 3 days prior to dermal fillers in the same area.
After receiving dermal filler, you must wait 2 weeks before having any other treatments.
However, prior to filler treatment, laser hair removal can be treated. The hairs won't be affected by filler and the dermal filler won't be affected after the laser treatment was performed.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, you can get fillers after a laser hair removal, but I suggest waiting 24-48 hours between procedures. Good luck to you.

Hi, that is a great question! Laser hair removal can be performed before getting dermal fillers. I would recommend waiting 24 hours between laser hair removal and dermal fillers.
