Any Way To Speed Up Absorption of Botox and Restalyne?

Thank you for your question. Time, unfortunately, is the best way to allow your Botox to wear off. I would return to your injector or go to a more experienced injector if you don't like your results. There may be something specific they can do to counter the effects of what you don't like about the treatment.

You should consider seeing a second opinion.  You might be able to get an adjustment and be happy with the result.  Otherwise, you can have the Restylane dissolved with hyaluronidase but the Botox effect will just have to wear off by itself.

Hi Gatekeeper.  You'll be happy with half of our answer.  Restylane can easily be reversed with a product called Vitrase.  Vitrase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid - the active ingredient in Restylane.  It immediately dissolves the Restylane and reverses the effects of the treatment. 

Botox is different and there is no way to speed up the time it takes for Botox to dissipate.  Depending on where the product was injected and how much was injected, you can expect to wait several months for it to wear off completely.  Good luck.

The BOTOX takes time to resolve on its own.  Typically effects are gone 3 to 6 months after treatment.  However, if you are willing, a better alternative would be to seek out some second opinions regarding what is going on.  It is possible that simple corrective action might give you a much better result.

Botox will fade out on its own after about 4 months and there is no great way of speeding this up. For hyaluronic-acid based fillers such as juvederm or restylane or perlane, your physician can inject you with hyaluronidase to get rid of it much faster. I'm surprised by the  "more wrinkles" that you now have. Make sure you receive your treatments by a highly trained and experienced injector like a dermatologist to avoid side effects and get optimal results. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre. 

Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse or lessen the effects of Botox once it has been injected.  However, the effects of Botox do not last forever and will be gone usually in 3-4 months.  The effects of HA fillers like Restylane or Juvederm can be reversed with an injection with a product that dissolves the filler.

Restylane can very easily be reversed with an easily performed injection of hyaluronidase. However, there is no way to reverse the effects of Botox. Generally the effects of Botox last 3-4 months.

I am sorry to hear that you feel that your treatment didn't help. In all likelihood, you didn't suddenly form new wrinkles but, once filler and Botox are injected in some areas, the other deficiencies may become more noticeable. There is an antidote for Restylane but you would need to wait for the Botox to wear off. I would also recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss your concerns.

Sorry to hear about your experience.  The restylane can be quickly dissolved; however, the botox will take time to wear off.  An in person consultation with a board certified specialist to determine what can be done to help your situation is highly recommended.  Sometimes, the areas that are now of concern can be improved without having you wait for this to wear off.

Botox takes about 4-6 months to be completely eliminated.  There is really nothing to do to quicken the process.
