If Botox is administered incorrectly, like Juvederm, is there something you can inject to counteract the effects and dissolve the Botox?
Answer: Wait for it to dissolve Botox is non-permanent and so the substance will naturally dissipate within 3-6 months with the effects wearing off with it. Unfortunately, unlike with fillers there aren't any substances currently available which can dissolve the toxin.

Answer: Botox Cannot Be Dissolved Botox is not a filler, like Juvederm, and cannot be dissolved. Once it has been injected into the muscle, the muscle will relax and continue in a quiescent state until the neuromodulator wears out in about three to four months. This is why it is so important to find an expert injector with many years' experience with Botox: You don't want to risk a mistake that will take months to resolve. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in Botox injection.

Answer: Wait it out Unfortunately, the best thing to do if you don't like the results of your Botox treatment is to simply wait it out. Botox isn't permanent so in a few months, the treated area should return to its pre-injection state. This can take about 4 months or so, depending on your unique physiology and the area in which it was injected.

Answer: Is there anything to "reverse" Botox?
Unfortunately, as the panel has suggested, there is no way to reverse the effects of Botox as there is with hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers.
Depending on the injection area, there may be ways to improve the appearance of the injections. For example, if we have a patient that has heavy lids from a Botox injection, in some cases we are able to lessen the appearance of the problem by performing a Botox browlift. But in many situations, the answer is just time.

Answer: Botox Reversal 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.
