No, Botox won’t cause more wrinkles to develop over time. Here’s how it actually works :
- Temporary Effect: When Botox wears off, your muscles gradually regain their ability to contract, and any pre-existing wrinkles will likely return to their baseline appearance.
- Potential for Deeper Wrinkles (Without Continued Use): If you stop Botox treatments, those dynamic wrinkles (caused by repeated muscle movement) might eventually become somewhat deeper than before you started, as you’ve temporarily prevented them from forming. This is a natural part of aging, not caused by Botox itself.
- Preventative Benefits: Some suggest regular Botox use may have a preventative effect in the long run. By relaxing muscles that etch those lines in your skin, it might lessen their severity as you age.
Botox itself does not accelerate wrinkling. Your face will simply return to its natural state when its effects subside.
