What is the Earliest I Can Have Botox After CO2 Laser Treatment?

Different doctors will have different preferences in how long they would recommend waiting to have Botox after a CO2 laser treatment.  My opinion is that it would be fine to have the Botox treatment at any time after the laser.  If your physician does not want to perform the Botox treatment at this time (before your wedding), I would check with another physician to see if it could be done now elsewhere.

Thank you for your question. If you're skin is still healing from the CO2, I would wait before doing any further injectables. Also, injectables, especially fillers can cause bruising  up to 2 weeks, which should not be done just before your wedding. Any treatment you get done should be done under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best and safest results.  I hope this helps.

It's best to consult with both practitioners when trying to determine time frames for Botox and then skin treatment. Typically, it's safe to have your Botox prior to a facial procedure like CO2 laser, around two weeks prior.

I prefer to do Botox before CO2 laser as I think you'll have better results with your laser treatment. If however the Botox is done afterwards, I'd wait 7-10 days after the laser for any swelling to go down first.

First of all, do you remember how raw or swollen you were after your first CO2 treatment and how many days it took you to recover? it sounds like your'e cutting it quite close to your big wedding day!

 

I recommend having your Botox done before the procedure, and your fillers done after, as we are unsure as to how the laser light may break down the filling material. Wait until your face and skin is fully healed (I generally recommend at least 3 weeks).
