Botox & Hydrafacial: Can You Combine Them & When?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I get a Hydrafacial and Botox around the same time?”—you’re not alone. In the world of skincare and self-care, pairing treatments is common, but timing is everything. Let’s talk about how these two all-star treatments work together, how long to wait in between, and what you absolutely should not do. Think of this as your cheat sheet for glowing, smooth skin—without any scheduling regrets.

First, What Do Botox and Hydrafacial Actually Do?

Let’s get the basics down.

Botox is an injectable that softens fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles. It's most commonly used on forehead lines, crow's feet, and between the brows. Think of it as your wrinkle smoother.

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive facial treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin using a vacuum-like tip and customized serums. It's like a big gulp of water and a fresh start for your face—without downtime.
Each treatment has its own role in the skincare world: Botox works under the skin by controlling muscle movement, and Hydrafacial works on the skin’s surface to boost texture and clarity.

So... Can You Get a Hydrafacial Before Botox?

Yes, and it’s actually ideal. If you’re planning to get both treatments, it’s best to schedule your Hydrafacial before Botox—ideally on the same day or a day before.

Why? Because Hydrafacial involves gentle massaging motions and suction that could disrupt freshly placed Botox if done after injections. Doing the facial first ensures you’re prepping your skin without risking your Botox results.

Pro tip: Clean, hydrated skin may even help your Botox settle more evenly and enhance your overall glow.

Can You Get a Hydrafacial After Botox?

You can, but not right away. You’ll need to wait about 5 to 7 days after getting Botox before you schedule your Hydrafacial.

Botox needs time to “settle” into the muscles it’s meant to relax. Doing anything that applies pressure to your face—like massage or suction (both part of a Hydrafacial)—can unintentionally move the Botox to areas where you don’t want it. That can lead to drooping or uneven results. No, thank you.

Golden rule: No facials, massages, or even laying flat for 4-6 hours after Botox. After that, patience is key.

What If I Already Had a Hydrafacial? How Long Should I Wait Before Botox?

If your skin just got pampered with a Hydrafacial and you're itching for wrinkle-smoothing magic, you’re good to go.

You can get Botox right after a Hydrafacial—there’s no waiting period. Just make sure your skin isn’t irritated, broken out, or overly sensitive from the facial. A calm, clean canvas is always best for injectables.

Combining Botox and Hydrafacial for Best Results

Want the glow and the smooth? You’re thinking smart.
Many people plan their Hydrafacial and Botox treatments together—Hydrafacial to boost skin health and radiance, and Botox to keep fine lines in check. Just remember the right order and timing:

-Hydrafacial first, then Botox (same day or next day is fine).

-After Botox, wait 5–7 days before your next Hydrafacial.

This combo can be your monthly or quarterly ritual depending on your skin goals. It’s like giving your skin a vacation and your wrinkles a time-out.
