Thank you for your question! I would recommend waiting 2 or 3 days after Botox and Juvederm before using vitamin C, retinol, and AHAs. This allows the tiny injection sites to heal without additional irritation. Best of luck!

It is advisable to wait for 2 or 3 days after receiving botox and juvederm injections before using vitamin C, retinol, and AHA products. This allows the tiny injection sites to heal without any additional irritation.

With Botox, patients are generally advised to wait 4 hours before touching their faces, after which they can resume normal activities and skincare. With filler, patients can usually resume skincare the next day.

Avoid using products with active ingredients for 2-3 days after treatment.
