Botox completely worn off following Collagen PIN microneedling?

hfultzAug 30, 2016
I recently had microneedling with the Collagen PIN about 3 weeks after receiving botox and I feel that my botox has completely worn off? I was told there was no risk of this due to waiting to appropriate time after treatment...has anyone else had this happen? I am 30, had 56 units in my forehead and between brows and use advanced skin care such as SKinMedica and Neocutis. HELP!! Should I avoid my injections until I am completely done with my microneedling series?

It sounds like your docs went to a weekend course and thought these injections were a good idea without much experience. There is nothing that can be done to fix this or expedite the recovery. It will come back to normal in about 3 months. These lower face injections need to be done perfectly or...

The shooting pain was probably from irritation of a nerve by the injection. Even if the Botox were to get into your eye, it would not cause a problem. No need to be worried. Botox works great. Look forward to your results:)

First, it is important that if your doctor has prescribed an antibiotic for an infection than you should take the antibiotic. That being said, the antibiotic will not affect your Botox. Good luck and hope this helps.

The pain is almost certainly not related to your treatment at this point 2 weeks after your Botox injection. I recommend you followup with your primary care physician to figure out what else maybe going on. Hope this helps. Good luck.
