Assuming you are treating the same area with both I would suggest waiting a day between your Botox and the RF treatments. You wouldn't want to accidentally spread the Botox. Hope that helps!
Muscles can show a differential response to Botox - meaning some can take longer to take effect than others. It's usually safest to wait 2 weeks before any "touch-ups" so that the Botox is in full effect.
Botox, as well as the two other available neuromodulatoers, Dysport and Xeomin, have in fact been used to improve the jawline and neck for many years. Almost twenty years ago, I was already routinely using Botox to treat the ropey, vertical cords on the neck. A few years later, the so-called...
