What is the difference between Micro dermabrasion & Botox?

September 19, 2014
Asked By:Jhabiby in Thailand, TH

I have been thinking about Botox injections, however, I have read some of the "horror stories" of Botox gone wrong and now I'm the little leery. Im now about other options and what comes to mind is Micro dermabrasion. Is it a good alternative to Botox or what would you recommend Or is Botox best way to go? Again I'm looking for alternatives to Botox that are recommended.
