3 examples of Botox and tattoo removal connection
Have you ever thought that laser exposure can affect the results of Botox injections? Will there be anything terrible and unpredictable with the face? Now I will arrange everything on the shelves.
First, let's look at a small piece of information about botox. Botulinum toxin has an effect on the facial muscles, fighting the formation of wrinkles due to the blocking of the neuromuscular transmission. As a result, a person strains his forehead with all his strength, tries to wrinkle, but nothing happens.
Botulinum toxin acts on the muscles, and the pigment in the tattoo is located in the skin, hence the laser and botulinum toxin do not intersect directly. But mimic muscles have one feature - they are "woven" into the skin.

Situation number 1.
Patient plans injecting botulinum toxin the day after tattoo removal
In this case, it is worthwhile to postpone the removal procedure for 5-7 days, because immediately after the session, redness and swelling are possible. These factors can interfere with the normal development of the effect of botulinum toxin. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the procedures in time.
Situation number 2.
Patient had injections of botulinum toxin on the eve of tattoo removal
The period of development of the Botox effect is 14 days. It's recommended to pause before laser removal, so that botulinum toxin has time to start functioning.
Situation number 3.
Patient had injections of botulinum toxin several months ago
The life of botulinum toxin under the influence of a complex of factors is from 3 to 6 months.
BUT! Periodic laser exposure will cause activation of local metabolism, which will shorten the life of botulinum toxin. Of course, it will not be catastrophic, and the action will not end tomorrow.
