Why We Encourage Laser Treatments Alongside Injectable Appointments
Injectables vs. Skin Health: What They Can (and Can’t) Do
Injectables are highly effective for addressing:
- Dynamic wrinkles and expression lines
- Volume loss and facial contouring
- Fine lines caused by muscle movement
However, injectables do not improve:
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Redness or broken capillaries
- Uneven skin tone or rough texture
- Pore size or overall skin quality
This is where treatments like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser resurfacing play a critical role.
Injectables improve the structure of the face, while laser treatments improve the canvas. When combined, the results appear more balanced, refined, and natural.
How Laser Treatments Elevate Injectable Results
Laser treatments address skin concerns that injectables alone cannot correct. By improving skin quality, lasers allow injectable results to truly stand out—without the need to overfill or over-treat.
Key Benefits of Laser Treatments Include:
- Improved skin tone and clarity
- Reduction in sun damage, pigmentation, and redness (especially with IPL)
- Smoother texture and refined pores
- Collagen and elastin stimulation through laser resurfacing
- Healthier, more youthful-looking skin overall
Patients often notice their Botox and fillers look better and last longer when the skin itself is healthier.
Why We Recommend Laser Treatments on the Same Day or as Part of the Same Plan
In many cases, IPL or laser resurfacing can be performed on the same day as injectables or strategically scheduled within the same treatment plan.
Benefits of combining treatments include:
- Convenience: Fewer appointments with more comprehensive results
- Synergy: Treatments work together rather than in isolation
- Longevity: Healthier skin helps maintain injectable results
- Customization: A personalized plan designed around your goals
Our experienced providers carefully evaluate timing and sequencing to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Combining Laser and Injectable Treatments?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Already receive Botox or fillers
- Have sun damage, redness, or pigmentation
- Want more natural, balanced results
- Prefer a proactive, preventative approach to aging
- Want longer-lasting results from your injectable treatments
A consultation allows us to determine which combination—IPL, laser resurfacing, injectables, or all three—makes the most sense for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get IPL or laser resurfacing and injectables on the same day?
In many cases, yes. Your provider will determine the safest and most effective timing for your treatments.
Will IPL or laser resurfacing affect my Botox or fillers?
When properly planned, laser treatments complement injectables and can enhance overall results.
Do I need laser treatments if I already get injectables?
Not always, but many patients benefit from addressing skin tone and texture in addition to wrinkles or volume loss.
Which is better: IPL or laser resurfacing?
They treat different concerns. IPL targets color issues, while laser resurfacing focuses on texture and collagen. Many patients benefit from both.
