Thinking about doubling up your glow game by getting Botox after dermaplaning? Great idea! But before you book both back-to-back, let’s talk about timing.
At Lovoir Day Spa Christchurch, we get this question all the time — and the answer might just save your fresh Botox from going on a little adventure it didn’t sign up for.
Here’s everything you need to know about combining botox and dermaplaning.
Understanding Dermaplaning: What is it?
If you haven’t tried dermaplaning yet, here’s the lowdown: it’s a safe, painless treatment that gently exfoliates away dead skin cells and those fine little “peach fuzz” hairs. The result? Instantly smoother skin, better product absorption, and that oh-so-coveted lit-from-within glow.
At Lovoir, our Dermaplaning Facial also includes a hydrating mask and a relaxing massage — so you leave not just glowing, but positively floating.

What Botox Does for Your Skin
Botox may have a reputation for freezing faces, but done well, it’s all about softening lines and giving you a fresher, more youthful look. It works by relaxing specific facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.
Many of our Christchurch clients love pairing Botox with facials for that one-two punch: softer lines plus radiant skin. But here’s where the timing matters — because Botox isn’t a fan of being poked, prodded, or massaged right after it’s placed.
Can You Do Botox and Dermaplaning Together?
The quick answer: yes — but not in the same sitting (sorry multitaskers!)
Here’s why:
Dermaplaning After Botox?
Think of your Botox like a homeowner settling into their new house. It needs about 7 to 14 days to “unpack its bags” before inviting in any exfoliation or facial massage. Follow proper Botox aftercare practices, and avoid sending it wandering into areas you didn’t plan on smoothing.
Dermaplaning Before Botox?
This is actually the dream combo. Dermaplaning first is like giving your skin a tidy-up before laying down a new rug — it creates the perfect, smooth canvas for your Botox treatment.

The Best Timeline for Dermaplaning and Botox
So what’s the game plan?
- Book dermaplaning first BEFORE botox – for silky smooth skin and a clean slate.
- BUT, if you want dermaplaning AFTER botox: Wait 7 to 14 days after Botox before doing any kind of facial or exfoliating treatment. (Your future wrinkle-free self will thank you.)
- Ask the pros at Lovoir Day Spa Christchurch – our therapists guide you on the safest timeline so your treatments complement each other perfectly.
