I had Botox injections for he first time on my underarms and it works wonderfully! But I usually epilate. Is it ok to continue to do so after treatment? If so, how long after? I'm terrified of hindering the effects!!

Answer: Waxing or shaving the underarms is OK after Botox
If you refrain from wearing the helmet in the first day after the Botox treatment, there shouldn't be any effect on the Botox effectiveness or duration.
You state that you have had weekly additions to the botox number of units in the glabella. During an examination for this concern, I evaluate if the muscles are moving, not if the creases are still there! If you are not able to move the muscle then you need no more Botox for now. ...
There should be no conflict in participating in a detox program such as a fast, or from addiction, after a Botox treatment. The affects of Botox cosmetic are local.
