It has not been shown to have any other effects, or mechanism of action.. There is no such thing as qi energy, meridians or chakra points, that is Asian mystical nonsense from a prescientific era. The various energy healing cults will give thumbs down for saying that, but their philosophy is faith-based, not evidence based.

The botox works on the muscles while the accupuncture works on the energy meridians, they should not counteract eachother but you may make a call to your accupuncturist and ask just to make sure.<br><b>References : </b><br> It should not matter.
