Question

How long after Agi laser treatment can I have Botox injections? Thank you

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

After undergoing AGI laser treatment, it is typically recommended that you wait at least two weeks before receiving any other cosmetic treatments, including Botox injections. This is because AGI laser treatment can cause some mild swelling, redness, and skin sensitivity, which can take some time to fully resolve.

Additionally, waiting a couple of weeks will give your skin time to fully heal and recover from the AGI laser treatment before you receive any further treatments. This can help ensure that your Botox injections are more effective and that you achieve the best possible results.

It's important to discuss your specific treatment plan and timing with your cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and circumstances. They can also provide recommendations on how to prepare for and recover from your Botox injections to help minimize any potential risks or complications.

Thank you for your question.

Laser treatments work by creating inflammation.

Inflammation from surgery or laser treatments can reduce the duration of the Botox effect.

Therefore I would not do Botox treatments until 4-6 weeks after a laser treatment.
