Is it safe to have Botox before completing all of your Vivace treatments? Will the RF break down the Botox?

It is completely safe to have Botox Cosmetic Treatment before completing all of your Vivace treatments.  Having said that, if you are planning to do the two treatments on the same day, Vivace must be done first and Botox Cosmetic second. If you are planning to do the two treatments on different days, wait ten days after your Botox Cosmetic to have your next Vivace treatment. The radio frequency will not affect your muscles or the Botox Cosmetic results.  Botox will help the relax your dynamic wrinkles and Vivace with improve your skin texture.
Have a wonderful beauty journey,

Yes it is safe 

And it will not break down.

In fact, the new trend is to inject smaller amounts of Botox mixed with smaller amounts of filler-specifically hyaluronic  acid- over the entire face for maximum aesthetic impact.

We recommend using Botox and Vivace to help improve appearance.  The Vivace helps fine lines, pore size and skin condition. The Vivace helps build collagen and elastin and Botox freezes the muscles.  The two work symbiotically.  I personally do not do them on the same visit but we do them a few days to weeks apart. We recommend Vivace and Botox 

Not only is there no problem having Botox (or another neuromodulator) after Vivace but it's actually a good idea.  We encourage Botox within close proximity to treatment to prevent lines and wrinkles from recurring as quickly as they otherwise may with repeated, habitual muscle contractions and expression.  Treating the lines is better and more effective if we treat the underlying muscles in conjunction.  So, not only are you continuing to improve your appearance with both but helping to maintain your results. 

Vivace treatments and Botox treatments provide an excellent compliment to each other and the RF will not effect the toxin. I would suggest waiting 24 hours between each treatment. Botox will help the dynamic wrinkles on your face, while the Vivace will improve skin texture and fine wrinkling.

It is safe to have Botox before completing all of your Vivace treatments - the radio frequency will not break down the Botox. Botox targets muscles and Vivace targets skin. The treatments complement each other. Best to you!
