Hi cmaala89,I have extensive experience in Botox and fillers and while we do not use microcurrent in practice, some doctors, believe that electrical stimulation is a non-invasive way of preventing muscle atrophy. They claim that over time, Botox injections lead to loss of fullness and an "older" appearance. The muscles themselves are not mobilized but passively stimulated so that the fibers do not lose bulk during the time they are immobilized by Botox. This is like passively exercising the muscles of a paralyzed person to tone those unused muscles. On the skin, there is some evidence that microcurrents stimulate the fibroblasts. Even on a temporary level, some increase in circulation can be noted which leads to a glowing and healthy look,. The timing should be right so that Botox does not "travel". Experts claim that spacing them a few weeks apart (minimum of two) should be fine. With fillers, these are set more deeply and won't likely move during stimulation.If in doubt, you can always resort to microneedling for a similar collagen-stimulating effect.I hope this helps,Justin Harper, M.D.
