Can Anything Be Done to Speed Up the Process of Getting Botox to Leave the Body?

Dear Fiah

At 2 weeks out, your BOTOX is at its maximum effect.  Things will stay the same for a while and then begin to resolve.  

I am not so excited about the advice I am reading here.  I do not advise you to go out an get more BOTOX. You are having a complication of treatment.  It the Doc you went to had a real handle on treatment, it is unlikely that you would be experiencing this complication.  It is a foreseeable consequence of injecting the frontalis muscle of the forehead with BOTOX.  Some doctors actually think this is a good treatment (you probably have seen some well know actresses with this type of treatment result).  I do sometime superimpose a Microdroplet BOTOX service in individuals with this type of problem at about 6 weeks out and it is helpful. If you live in the State of Washington, email me privately and I can give you the name of someone I trained in Tacoma who can treat you with this type of service if you are interested.

Also there is absolutely no evidence that exercising or attempting to exercise will actually speed up the resolution of your symptoms.  All it is likely to do is make you feel inadequate that you are not exercising enough and that is the reason why your symptoms are not resolving.  You do not need to exercise your forehead muscle.  This is an example of well meaning advise that doctors give sometimes give in an effort to be helpful.  Fortunately this treatment will wear off but it might take a couple of months.  Please don't allow someone to treated you in this fashion again.  There are alternative methods of treatment such as the cosmetic treatment for the 11 lines that is approved by the FDA-this will not cause the brow to fall as you are experiencing.

There is no method to speed the process of Botox leaving the body. Fortunately, the effect of Botox is temporary and will completely wear off within 3- 4 months.  Your muscles and brows will return to how they were previously.

Unfortunately, there is not really anything to be done to reverse the effects of Botox more quickly. Luckily, Botox is temporary and should only last for 3-4 months. You can try to visit another, more skilled injector to have more Botox injected in a different area to attempt to reduce the side effects in the meantime, but make sure you are visiting a highly skilled, board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who will give you an honest opinion on whether or not more Botox will help. Side effects like these are the reason it is so important to only visit experienced, skilled injectors who will advise you of potential complications and who know where to place Botox for the best, most natural results.
