Botox and facial acupuncture - can I do both?

I would avoid any facial accupuncture for 2 weeks after botox injections.  Otherwise it should be safe to have done.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I would say you can do both. Botox is observed quickly after the
injections and the onset is maximized in 7 to 10 days. There have been no studies that look
specifically at facial acupuncture and Botox. However since Botox is observed quickly there should be no reason for
face acupuncture cause a problem after 48 hours. It probably could be done even sooner but I
would recommend being cautious simply because this is not an area that's been
well studied and wait for acupuncture 48 hours after your Botox treatment.
