I have recently had botox, and it has worked a treat on my forehead. I have just read about red light collagen therapy beds, and the positive effects they can have on lines and wrinkles, and I am considering this too, but am concerned that there are not many reviews available. Will a course of this be safe after botox, and will it reduce the effects of the botox? Will the botox wear off more quickly if I used one of these beds? (My botox therapist said it would) Any help would be appreciated.
