About to get Botox... Should I stop with Frownies, which I've been wearing nightly for several months?

Personally, I think that Frownies will not do you any good if you've decided to move forward with Botox. The movement that Frownies aim to reduce is the same movement that Botox will eliminate for 3-4 months. With that said you can continue to use Frownies while receiving Botox if you choose to do so. I would recommend not wearing them the first night after Botox but after that feel free! I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

You should most definitely stop wearing anything on your face with adhesive.  It will not prevent you from making wrinkles.  It can damage the skin.  Get the Botox as planned.

Hi Cici.  After Botox, you will not need the Frownies any more.  It's unlikely that they are providing you any benefit, but it doesn't matter as after your injections you should not be able to frown, which will make the Frownies obsolete.  To see examples of Botox (Dysport) injections in Los Angeles, check the link below.  

Frownies will not affect your botox injections.  I suggest going to someone very experienced who is trained in botox and wrinkle treatments.  Frownies are not that useful and would be something to discuss at your cosmetic consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It will be better to stop using them, so the surgeon or dermatologist who will inject the Botox, can have a better idea on how strong the muscles are.

There is no good scientific evidence showing that the adhesives you use provide any type of benefit. On the other hand, there is significant evidence showing that botulinum toxin (Botox) is an extremely effective (and safe) option for treating the wrinkles you wish to reduce.I would say, discontinue using the adhesives, and for your Botox, make sure you are seeing a clinician with experience treating facial wrinkles.
