I have a dental filling scheduled on a top molar and 2.5 days later I have Botox (forehead/elevens/masseters) scheduled with Skinvive. Is it ok to do the Botox that soon after the filling? Should I skip masseters for this time so it doesn’t get affected? Thank you!

Usually Botox's effect is completely gone after 6 months, especially if its a brand like Allergan or dysport.However sometimes brands imported from other countries have more preservatives and can last up to 8-9 months. Nevertheless, the effect will resolve and you will have more movement. muscle...
Hi
having nicotine will not impair your treatment. However smoking cigarettes and nicotine use does impair healing. Avoiding nicotine/smoking during any procedure that causes trauma to the skin or body should be priority.
The amount of Botox injected at your initial treatment was within the normal limit range. The other injections were minimal and shouldn't cause major issues. Botox effects are temporary and gradually fade typically over three to four months.
