Botox and Facial toners. Can they complement each other to prevent muscle atrophy?

bunny78
I recently had botox in my forehead & above the eyebrows. I use facial toners for saggy skin around the eye & jowls etc. It could be psychological but I felt it helped. I read articles recommending using facial toners in conjunction with botox to prevent muscle atrophy as a result of botox, even if it only targeted the surrounding non-botoxed muscles. Not much was injected so I still have some movement. How long after the injections can I use these devices & is there a risk of the botox moving?
