| Immediately after or generally after? Pretty sure this was covered in the lengthy LightStim thread, have you run a search? |

| Someone had posted here that using an LED after botox caused it to not take effect. I have not read any issues with fillers though. |

There are a few related LED/Botox/Fillers comments/experiences on the first page of this thread including (I think) the one mentioned by GirlieGirl: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=36577
There is also this post from the LightStim thread:

Q. Can LED light treatment be used on someone who has been treated recently with Botox® or fillers?
A. Reply by the manufacturer of the DPL System: From our research and review of studies, using LEDs typically does not cause an increase in dissipation of fillers or Botox. Filler dissipation is usually a result of poor insertion. Also, everyone's skin is different and dissipation will not be the same for every person. But it appears that in most cases using LED therapy will not cause fillers or Botox to dissipate more quickly. Normally a person should wait a couple days to let the fillers settle a bit, then start using the LED's slowly. If there is bruising at the injection site the LED light will help with healing. If someone is hesitant to use the light in an area where there have had botox or fillers they can cover that area with a thick material, such as a rolled-up towel. |

Personally, it's not something that's ever worried me - I'm sure the AALS has not had a negative effect on my fillers or Botox. |
HTHs!  |

| I use LED after Botox and Fillers (the evening following the procedure) and have never had an issue with it. |

| The salon I go to for Botox always gives a treatment with Gentle Waves after an injection. They do this after other types of injections too. It reduces the inflammation from the needle. |
