How long does Botox last?
Botulinum toxin effects are temporary. Duration varies according to treatment area, muscle activity, dose, product and individual response.
Why duration varies
- Muscle strength
- Treatment area
- Dose
- Previous treatments
- Individual biological response
When does the effect begin?
The effect develops progressively rather than immediately after injection.
Treatment should not be repeated solely because a calendar date has passed; facial movement and clinical assessment matter.
Questions to ask at your consultation
- When should I expect the result to develop?
- What movement should remain?
- When should I return for review?
- How often is treatment appropriate for me?
