Can herbal teas remove fillers and Botox? So money gone to waste?

Thank you for sharing your question. It is unlikely that herbal teas caused the fillers to dissolve. See an experienced injector who can determine the most effective product to use for your problems.Good luck,

The herbal teas should have nothing to do with your filler injections. If you had your fillers injected a few years ago they should be gone by now anyway.

It is highly unlikely that the herbal teas you are drinking caused the effects of your Botox and fillers to be diminished.  It is most likely just a coincidence.  You should discuss your concerns with your doctor.

No, herbal tea won't negatively impact your filler or Botox results. Botox results last 3-4 months and filler results last 6-12 months. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is highly unlikely that any herbal tea had any effect on your fillers. It is just a coincidence that you observed and happened to draw an unsubstantiated conclusion from it. Note that most of the fillers last anywhere from 6 to 18 month depending on the type of the filler and the area injected. Just continue maintaining your healthy lifestyle and see an experienced injector to address your aesthetic needs once again. Good luck, Dr. Daniyar

No scientific study has ever shown that consumption of herbal teas (or anything else for that matter) can possibly alter the results of non-surgical cosmetic facial fillers. The real key to a good outcome is choosing an excellent board-certified, MD with facial anatomy training to perform your fillers, and avoid "deals," nurses, and non-doctor aids. The next key is having a proper budget to spend on the correct amount of products that will give your face the best outcome. Best wishes!

Quiet one,It is probably a coincidence that you noticed your fillers and Botox fade with the consumption of herbal tea.  I have never heard or read about a correlation regarding this association.Dr T

Thank you for your post, and I am sorry to hear of your concerns. I have not heard of herbal teas affecting Botox or fillers. Best to see your injector for a follow-up.

I am unaware of any effects like this.  Botox typically lasts 3-4 months. Are your fillers all collagen? Collagen does break down with time but I cannot think of any way to speed the breakdown with a chemical or tea. What were you taking specifically?
Another thought is that the teas caused you to diurese extra fluid which made you appear different...
This is very interesting for sure. You might try stopping the teas for a couple of weeks to see what happens. 

The only potential dietary benefit in case of Botox is oral supplementation zinc and phytase. However, the effect remains mostly anecdotal. There was a small study done at Baylor College of Medicine which suggested that these two supplements may enhance the effect of Botox. What you are describing may sound like the result of weight loss rather than direct effect of herbal teas unless the herbal tea is the only nutrition you had during those 2 weeks. Good luck!
