Is a micropen treatment ok to get right after Botox?

May 15, 2015
Asked By:newyork1988 in Knoxville, TN

I got my first Botox injections yesterday & the doctor told it was OK to receive the needle point micropen treatment all over my face just a couple of hours later. I just want to know what makes it possible to combine these two processes in one sitting. Is it because the botox is just injected to relax your muscles & not a filler that can be moved? I haven't seen any results from my Botox after 1 day. I'm assuming I'll know if it worked in about a week? Thank you!
