Lafayette Botox doctors

Botox usually starts working in several days but can take up to 2 weeks for the full effect.  The duration of the treatment varies from person to person, but on average is 3 months.  Botox treatment can be repeated when needed for as long as needed.  There does not appear to be any risk to repeated treatments over years of time.

Botox lasts longer is some patients than in others.  In general, 3 months is about the average.  It appears that Dysport (the new Botox) lasts even longer.  What is really interesting though is that muscles being treated by Botox or Dysport may be made to weaken permanently if you don't allow the it to wear off completely in between treatments.  In my experience, if patients come back to be during the first year to be retreated as soon as the frown just starts to return, not waiting for the full frown to come back, they may go as long as a year between treatments in the second year on.  So I recommend sticking with it and being really diligent for the first year, it will pay off in longer lasting treatments to follow.
