One of my girlfriends told me she heard that Botox Cosmetic can actually make your wrinkles look worse after the Botox injections wear off. Is this true? I've never experienced this, but a lot of people I know are saying it.
Answer: Botox is not known to worsen wrinkles There is no logical reason why your wrinkles would look worse after the Botox wears off.

Answer: Does Botox make wrinkles worse? There is a misconception that Botox makes you look older when it wears off. This is because your face simply goes back to its natural state. No new or deeper wrinkles and lines are caused by Botox injections. On the contrary, getting regular Botox injections actually make you look younger even after the effects wear off. Hope this helps.

Answer: You will return to how you looked before treatment Botox relaxes the muscles that are causing your wrinkles, and once the effect wears off, your muscles will return to their normal functionality and the wrinkles will assume their pre-treatment appearance. Your wrinkles will not look worse, but you may think they do simply because you've been enjoying how smooth the treated area looked while the Botox was working. There is no research indicating that Botox makes your wrinkles look worse. You can check this out for yourself by viewing your photos taken of the treated area before your treatment, then comparing them to photos taken once the Botox wears off.

Answer: Effects of Botox After it Wears Off Once Botox has worn off completely, your muscle movement will start to gradually increase and wrinkles will return to their original state prior to treatment. Botox will not cause your wrinkles to worsen.

Answer: Does Botox make wrinkles worse? Botox will not cause your wrinkles to worsen after injection. If anything, I think your friend's memory may be the culprit. We have had a few patients say to us that they think they are worse off after their Botox wears off until they see their before photo. Once the before photos are evaluated, this is never the case.
