Botox & Microblading
How To Time Your Eyebrow Area Treatments To Get The Most Out Of Both

When it comes to combating signs of aging in the face, patients have never had more viable options than they do now. Chemical peels, amazing skincare products, laser therapy – there is just so much to choose from! However, we wanted to discuss two of the most popular treatments we offer: Microblading and Botox. When correctly combined, these two cosmetic powerhouses can erase years and inspire the fierceness you’ve always wanted.
We’re here to help you set some realistic timelines and answer some of the most common questions about these treatments as you continue to be the most confident version of yourself!
“Should I Do Microblading After Botox?”
In the short-term? You can but you probably shouldn’t. Our experts advise that you wait at least 3 – 4 months after your most recent facial Botox visit before having microblading performed to reduce any risk of negative aesthetic outcomes.
Botox temporarily changes the natural placement of your eyebrows. Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure. As the chemical begins to wear off, your “tattooed” eyebrows will begin to slowly migrate from the modified position. This can result in some potentially negative results.

“But Is It Safe To Do?”
If your question is “Is it safe to get Microblading after Botox,” we can say, yes, it is safe as long as you wait at least 2 weeks for the controlled chemical to reach its fullest effect and there are no complications.
At the end of the day, the choice is ultimately up to you and your provider! If your provider knows your skin and how you react to Botox, you can make that decision to move forward.
“Can I Do Botox After Microblading?”
Yes! This is the ideal scenario. We do, however, advise that you wait at least 2 weeks after your microblading appointment before getting Botox. This gives your eyebrows a chance to heal properly. Botox also prevents movement and reduces sweating, both of which are actually positives when it comes to preserving microblading results!

What About Microblading In Combination With Other Injectables & Fillers?
You may have noticed a reoccurring theme so far – 2 weeks. This is the rule of thumb that we use to allow the body to completely react and get to know any injectable material. If there are no adverse effects to your filler or other injectable, go ahead and amplify your look with microblading!
Are You Ready To Schedule Your Microblading, Botox or Combination Appointments?
Then we are here for you! As we mentioned earlier, there are some general rules that we like to go by to ensure incredible results but these treatments are bespoke in nature and you could be a candidate for microblading after Botox.
