Injection to Dissolve Botox?

There is no antidote to Botox, although the effects will wear off in 2-3 months. If you have a complication such as a droopy eyelid, the effect may wear off in as little 2-3 weeks. You should speak to the physician who administered your injection about your concerns. If you decide to have another injection in the future, be sure to mention the issues you had with your prior injection. I would also recommend that you see a physician who is experienced with Botox injection, as opposed to... more

While there is no medication to reverse Botox, some of the problems associated with Botox can be ameliorated. Sometimes, adding more Botox can actually help improve a poor result. If you have a droopy eyelid, there are eyedrops that can reduce the droopiness. The key is to select an experienced injector to minimize the chance of developing these problems.

There is no specific medication or technique to reverse Botox. Botulinum toxin serotype A is an irreversible inhibitor of Ach release at the neural synapse and cannot be countered once injected.

Dear Hollybrook It is important to undertand that there can be some significant problems if BOTOX is not properly placed. For this reason, you should be certain that you are getting treatment with a core aesthetic physician or surgeon who understands facial anatomy. This means seeing a specialist who is board certified in one of the following areas: Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology or General Plastic Surgery.

Unlike hyaluronidase which will dissolve Juvederm / Restylane, there is no injectable or topical medication to reverse the effects of BOTOX. Most of the common BOTOX-related problems like droopy eyelid or eyebrow assymetry can be improved, and all BOTOX-related problems are temporary. A droopy eyelid will last for around 4-6 weeks and can be alleviated with Visine (phenylepherine) eye-drops. A funny looking brow can usually be treated with a BOTOX dose-adjustment.

Unfortunately there is no injection that will reverse Botox. As you have already heard, Botox always wears off, so eventually things will be fine. However there are often other things that can be done to help with problems caused by Botox. Sometimes a small injection in a specific muscle can make things much better. If the problem that you are having is a droopy eyelid, there is a prescription drop that can temporarily help. I would see your cosmetic doctor to see if things can be... more

Hi Holly, There are not Botox reversal agents. Tincture of time is the only treatment. Now if a patient has the "Joker or Diablo" arched eyebrow look of poorly placed Botox, that is correctable by injecting a small amount of additional Botox laterally in the forehead. Choose your injector carefully. Dr. P

There is no way to reverse the effects of Botox.  Assymetries can be treated by injecting opposing muscles or areas. Fortunately, the effects of Botox, if undesirable, will dissipate over time.

There are no known methods of reversing the effect of Botox on a muscle. In some instances the effects can be lessened by injecting the antagonist muscle or stimulating an agonist muscle but this is not a true reversal of its effects.
