When can I use a product called Silcskin after botox treatment? (photo)

angela017Apr 26, 2017
I just got botox today, I had been using a product called silcskin, which is a medical grade silicone skin pad you put on problem wrinkle areas. Is it and when would it be ok to resume using it again after botox? Botox says not to manipulate the skin for a few hours after the injection.

Botox will only lift the brow so much on it's own. I recommend a combination approach of lasers, botox, fillers, ultherapy and rf treatments. Don't let distance dissuade you, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
