Can I use AHAs and Differin (adapalene) after intradermal Botox?

eggcJul 1, 2017

Hi, I had intradermal botox (micro botox) on my entire face done yesterday, for my oily and sometimes sweaty face. Wondering if I am ok to use my aha-face wash and differin gel (adapalene) now after just one day or if I should wait longer? Read that it's alright with normal Botox since that affecets muscles, but thought it might be different when it's intradermal Botox?

Thank you for your question. What you’re noticing is very common, especially when smiling—the muscles around the eyes can create fine lines or an extra crease as they contract. Botox can help, but only in certain situations. If the crease is caused mainly by muscle movement when you smile, a s...

Social media is a way for anyone to market something that they want to sell you. They may not be qualified in any way to do what they are selling, but social media doesn't care. Botox itself will not slim your nose - it doesn't even make sense. Botox relaxes muscles. So injecting it in a few...

It may take a combination of all three treatments to give your best results. PRP and radiofrequency treatments, like morpheus8, can help promote collagen and elastin production to improve the quality of skin. Micro Botox into this area will improve the appearance of the lines by relaxing the...
