Thank you for your question. While neuromodulators like Botox, Xeomin or Dysport are the mainstay treatments, other options do exist. Fillers like Restylane or Juvederm are options. Also a minimally invasive procedure called ThermiRase weakens the nerves to relax the elevens and lasts 2-3 years....
Thanks for your
question – and you need to make an appointment with a specialist in using Botox
for these areas – but most of us would recommend caution here and if the
muscles in the area are already weak, Botox may worsen the situation. Learn
your treatment options and proceed cautiously.

Thank you for your question.
There are no contracindications for you to have your microdermabrashion treatment 2 days post your Botox treatment.
I recommend that you consult with and experienced and highly trained practitioner.
