What happens if you stop having your anti-wrinkle treatment?
You might be wondering… “If I take a break, will my wrinkles come back?” The answer is yes—but don’t worry, nothing permanent happens!
Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause lines. Over 3–6 months, your muscles gradually wake up again and your wrinkles slowly return to how they were before treatment.
The good news? Years of treatment can sometimes soften lines long-term, so even if you pause, your face might look smoother than before you started.
Bottom line: Stopping doesn’t make wrinkles worse—it just lets your natural expressions shine again.
