If you’ve just had Botox and you’re ready to get your skin glowing again, you may be wondering: Can I get microdermabrasion after Botox?
At Lovoir Day Spa Christchurch, we often work with clients who want to combine the wrinkle-smoothing power of Botox with the skin-refining benefits of microdermabrasion — but timing is everything.
Here’s what you need to know to get the best results safely and effectively.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion remains to be one of the most popular skin treatments (including here at Lovoir!)
It is a gentle yet highly effective exfoliating treatment that improves skin texture, reduces dullness, and promotes a fresh, glowing complexion. It works by using a diamond-tipped tool to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, encouraging cell renewal and enhancing the effectiveness of your skincare products.
At Lovoir, our microdermabrasion Christchurch clients enjoy:
- Improved tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of blackheads and congestion
- Smoother skin with zero downtime

How Botox Works and Why Timing Matters
Botox works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It takes around 3 to 5 days to start seeing results, with full effects visible within 10 to 14 days.
Since Botox is an injectable treatment that relies on precise placement, it’s essential to let the product settle before doing anything that involves pressure or manipulation of the skin — like microdermabrasion.
Is It Safe to Get Microdermabrasion After Botox?
Yes, but only after a safe waiting period.
Most skincare experts (including our team at Lovoir) recommend waiting at least 7 to 10 days after your Botox treatment before having microdermabrasion. This allows the injectable to settle into the targeted muscles and reduces any risk of disrupting the results.
Getting microdermabrasion too soon after Botox can potentially:
- Displace the Botox from its intended area
- Reduce the effectiveness of your treatment
- Cause unintended results or uneven muscle relaxation
Combining Microdermabrasion and Botox the Right Way
When timed correctly, Botox and microdermabrasion can complement each other beautifully:
- Botox smooths expression lines
- Microdermabrasion enhances skin texture and tone
- Together, they create a refreshed, youthful appearance
✨ Tip: Many clients also prefer to start with a course of Microdermabrasion treatments BEFORE Botox injections, which has its own set of benefits. Learn more here: Can I Get Microdermabrasion Before Botox?
