Will handheld microcurrent home devices negate or cancel out the positive effects of botox-treated facial muscles?

Judegal
I spend a lot of money on weakening certain facial muscles with botox. I'm told that microcurrent devices like the NuFace will strengthen or stimulate facial muscles to give a more "lifted" or firm look to sagging muscles. I would like to use this microcurrent device but I'm concerned that in the process I will strengthen the very muscles I have paid to weaken. Please advise. Thanks.
