Long Lasting Results of Botox and Restylane

Michael Law, MD answers: Will Botox and Restylane make my face look older once wears off?

Do you have to always inject Botox/Restylane once you start it? I want to use this on my forehead line and smile lines around cheeks only for my wedding. I know it might suit me and last about 6 months - 1 year. My question is do I have to continue doing it everytime or will I get my original face look with just those 3 wrinkles that I covered. I am definitely not interested in making this a life long routine or looking much older when the effect wears off or the white heads that some people have reported.

The results of Botox are temporary, as are the results of Restylane and other hyaliuronic acid based fillers like Juvederm. There is no reason to believe that a person's face will look older if one discontinues use of these products.
