Hello, unfortunately there's no true way to speed up metabolism of Botox. Botox typically begins to wear off around 2 months and is completely worn off by 3-4 months. I have found that when patients do not like the effect of Botox (or it feels like "too much"), it usually will only feel like that for the first month, then it will begin to "soften". Sometimes exercising your muscles or the area that feels too weak/frozen can help.
Thank you for your question! There is not much you can do to quickly reduce the effect of botox for a gummy smile. Natural mouth movements, metabolism, and time will lessen the effect of botox to the areas treated in the lower face. Usually lower face botox will last around 2 months.
Hi, thank you for your question! The best way to help reduce the effect of lower face botox would be to do facial exercises and using a vibration device. The vibration tool will help contract the muscle which in return will help the botox metabolize at a faster rate.
Sorry to hear the dose may have been too high. Sometimes it is better to start with a very small dose for this injection, follow up and reassess if it more is needed. It can be great injection but only when the dose is appropriate. Unfortunately, you will have to let it wear off which will likely be a couple months.
You cannot expedite the 'duration' of effect (paralysis) of botulinum neurotoxin. However, you shall be pleased to know that after approximately one month since the treatment, the 'magnitude' of effect (i.e. degree of action) shall decrease. Therefore, you should find that any potential unhappiness with the current appearance should be easier for you to work with way before the complete effect wears off.
There is no reversal agent for Botox, however the effects are not permanent. Typically the results will gradually fade over three to four months depending on the individual and the amount used. I encourage you to speak to your injector about any concerns.
There are two parts to your question. To address the smile height (or gummy smile), this can be treated with appropriately placed botox injections by your oculofacial plastic surgeon or other botox injector. Increasing upper lip fullness or lip-flip can also be addressed with botox placement in...
Hello, and thank you for your question! Botox can be effective in reducing your gummy smile. The amount of Botox used in treating a gummy smile is rather small. Lip filler is used to add more volume into your lips and does not effect the muscle movement. Hope this helps, and good luck on your...
Hello! Filler can help to define your cupid's bow and address asymmetry. It's important to find a provider who will be conservative in their approach with you and who understands the different kinds of fillers that we have available. You can also look into a "lip lift" (surgical procedure) which...
