Stopping Botox and fillers

Once the botox is stopped, the muscle action will eventually come back and forehead lines and crow's feet will recur. As for the facial fillers, the lines will become more noticeable as the product resorbs.

If a patient decides not to continue the treatment with Botox or fillers, the skin will not return to a condition worse than when he or she started the treatments.  In fact, many people retrain themselves not to contract the muscles with prolonged treatment of Botox, and as the habits are forgotten, and there is less squinting or less frowning, these lines may improve. Repeated fillers, whether with Restylane or Juvederm, Fat Injections, Radiesse, or other fillers, the trauma involved with the procedure and the inflammation during the wound healing, helps produce more of one's own collagen.  Some people need less product when they return for more filler in the future because of this reason.

When Botox and Restylane are stopped the aging process will certainly continue. The improvement that you have been working on will eventually start going away very gradually. You will start to see Botox diminish around 4 months and Restylane around 6 to 9 months.
