How long does Botox last? What determines how long it will work for me?

Botox lasts for 3 months give or take.  Patients who return for treatment before signs of muscle activity return, (and who continue to do so over the course of several years) tend to develop greater longevity from the product.

The best idea for a patient is to become educated on the dose (in units) that they receive for treatment.  The greater the dose, the more effect the Botox will have.
