How long should you wait after your injectable treatment before resuming other facial treatments?

9/1/2020

A common question for many is how long to wait after your injectable treatment before resuming your anti-aging care plan. Each provider may have a different timeline for post injection treatments or procedures to resume in your regimen. We advise for patients to wait the following periods of time AFTER getting injection treatments before having these different skin treatments performed:

Skincare - wait 12 hours
Kybella- wait 2 weeks
Microblading – wait 2 weeks
Facials – wait 2 weeks
Hydrafacial- wait 2 weeks
Enzyme Peels – wait 2 weeks
Laser Genesis – wait 2 weeks
Glycolic or AHA peels – wait 2 weeks
Deep Chemical Peels- wait 4 weeks
Facial waxing – wait 2-4 weeks, varies
Laser Hair Removal for face – wait 2-4 weeks, varies
Fraxel Laser- wait 4 weeks
Microneedling- wait 4 weeks

Certain treatments may be combined in one session. Consult with your provider for recommendations.

These days, the key to maintaining a youthful face is to combine different non-surgical cosmetic procedures and to be proactive with your skin care regimen at home. Prevention is key. It’s never too early to make an appointment for a consultation and see how to start your anti-aging and prevention regimen today!

My mom wants to take very good care of her face because she wants to look younger, and feel a lot younger. She has been thinking about getting some injectable treatments to get rid of any wrinkles on her face. Thanks for explaining how she should wait around 2 weeks to resume most skin treatments but should ask for different recommendations.
