I'm a huge fan of Botox and fillers;however,I wonder about the exercise impact.Most say none.I spoke with someone who works for the manufacturer of the most popular "furrow freezer" who said exercise can impact it's longevity.Also, I burned through an out-of-the-box vial (one cheek) of a 12-18 month advertised filler in about 6 months.Im thin but have gained weight not lost.Why conflicting opinions and experiences?is there a point when a lot of filler is lost at once vs. gradual?

Answer: Excercise and longevity of botox and fillers
We have found that this is up to the individual. Some folks will break down the product more rapidly than others. Sometimes it is a biochemical thing. Sometimes the patient is very animated with the facial muscles. Sometimes patients who are hypermetabolic will break the Botox and/or filler down faster. Part of the confusion is the answer is that all these things can influence the breakdown of the product, but what role each plays in the individual is hard to measure.

Answer: Exercise will not affect longevity of Botox
Botox and other products like Dysport work by inactivating the connection between a nerve and muscle at a microscopic level, and it typically takes the body about 3-4 months to restore the connection. So the amount of time the effect lasts depends on this healing process, which would not be affected by exercise. Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, work differently because they fill in wrinkles, so when the product dissolves the wrinkle re-appears. Thiss too should not bve affected by exercise but weight loss could change the appearance.
