Aphrodite,
Better results are usually obtained by combining non invasive procedures such as the ones you mention. You can expect the same in your case. Good luck!

Kenneth R. Francis, MD answers: Will Botox injections before Fraxel Repair produce better results?
I am planning to have Fraxel Repair, and have heard that having Botox injections a couple of weeks before having laser treatment will yield better results. Is this true? I would be interested in some advice.

A: Botox before laser resurfacing is commonly recommended
10 months ago
It is commonly recommended by physicians to perform Botox prior to resurfacing so that the treated area heals on a smoother base rather than having new skin form on an area that keeps creasing as the muscles move.
Many of us who do these procedures see this benefit in the short term but I’m not aware of any medical studies that show that the long term results are better in those patients that did have the Botox done prior to resurfacing.
Keep in mind that resurfacing has been done for more than two decades with excellent results but the use of Botox prior to these procedures is relatively new.
