Post-Botox Glow: Maximize Your Results with HydraFacial After Botox

Botox injections are amazing at erasing fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. But did you know you can amplify and extend your Botox results with other professional treatments? Getting a HydraFacial after your Botox injections can help maximize and maintain your newfound glow. The HydraFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates skin, prepping it to best hold onto the muscle-relaxing effects from Botox. The combination of these two facial aesthetic treatments creates a powerful punch for erasing signs of aging and revealing remarkably smooth, even-toned skin with unbeatable radiance.

Can You Do Botox and a Hydrafacial Together?  

You can get Botox and a HydraFacial treatment together in the same visit. However, it is recommended to stagger the two treatments by about 2 weeks rather than getting them done concurrently or directly after one another. 

Getting Botox injected into muscles causes trauma and inflammation under the skin. Immediately following up with a HydraFacial could worsen the irritation and inflammation from the Botox injections. Allowing a couple of weeks between the Botox and HydraFacial allows any swelling, redness, or tenderness to resolve. Plus, waiting helps maximize results from both treatments. Botox requires about 72 hours to a week to fully set into muscles before seeing final smoothing effects. Getting a deep-cleansing HydraFacial too soon could disturb Botox which hasn’t permanently settled in yet. Your safest bet is to set up your HydraFacial for 2 weeks post-Botox. At that point, you’ll be glowing from peak Botox results and ready to extend and amplify that refreshed, youthful appearance with exfoliation and hydration from the HydraFacial.

Can you Get Botox before a Hydrafacial? 

The ideal timing for this treatment pairing would be to get Botox done first, then wait approximately 2 weeks before your scheduled HydraFacial appointment. This stagger between treatments allows the effects of Botox to fully develop before undergoing the resurfacing and hydrating benefits of the facial. Getting Botox before the HydraFacial has some notable upsides:

The muscle paralysis and wrinkle-relaxing effects of the neurotoxin will already be kicking in, allowing the HydraFacial to better penetrate the skin and maximize results. By getting Botox first, the HydraFacial can deeply infuse hydration and nutrients into the smoother, line-free skin surface created by the injections without the interference of creases or folds. Additionally, some minor swelling or bruising can accompany Botox injections. The gentle exfoliation and lymphatic drainage provided by the HydraFacial a couple of weeks post-Botox helps alleviate any lingering swelling and redness. Simply put, scheduling Botox before your HydraFacial means you’ll be prepping the skin first to fully benefit from the glow-boosting perks of the facial for amplified, long-lasting effects.

How Long After Botox Can You Get a Facial

Botox requires approximately 3-5 days for the botulinum toxin to start temporarily paralyzing muscles and relaxing wrinkles. Peak effects are seen around two weeks post-injection once all of the neurotoxin has bonded to nerve endings. Getting a facial too soon could disrupt Botox that is still diffusing through tissues or unsettle injections that haven’t permanently embedded.

Benefits of Combining a Hydrafacial Treatment with Botox Injections

HydraFacial treatment paired with Botox injections is an excellent pairing for boosting your complexion and addressing signs of aging. Getting these two treatments together can provide the following benefits:

• Extended Duration of Results: The hydration and nourishing ingredients infused during a HydraFacial help support the rejuvenated appearance from Botox over time. This tag team approach can extend the wrinkle-relaxing effects of Botox by months.
• Aid Healing Process: HydraFacials provide gentle resurfacing to alleviate potential irritation, redness, swelling or bruising after Botox needle injections. The lymphatic drainage also accelerates healing.
• Brighter, More Radiant Complexion: Deep cleansing and exfoliation creates a flawless canvas to reveal the glowing skin surface unveiled after Botox smoothing. Boosted cell turnover uncovers fresh skin. 
• Reduction of Fine Lines and Texture: HydraFacial combines Botox's muscle relaxation with the facial's ability to painlessly resurface. This minimizes the look of crepey skin, enlarged pores, and other signs of aging.
• Prep and Priming of Skin: Getting a HydraFacial after Botox helps the skin better receive and hold onto the neuromodulator. This preps for optimal placement and maximizes wrinkle reduction.
