Depends on how deep the wrinkles are
First of all, Botox will only target wrinkles that are caused by dynamic muscle movement. If you have wrinkles at rest, using botox every 3-4 months will help prevent them from getting worse - so treatment 3-4X per year is necessary just to prevent worsening. If lines are there at rest, you will also need injections to increae the volume - fillers of many types can be used to do this. The Crow's feet is an area that is constantly moving due to our blinking, so botox...

Quarterly Botox Does the Trick
As most of my colleagues have mentioned, Botox (and its competitor, Dysport) generally lasts for anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on doseage and the individual patient. A majority of patients come back at around the four month mark. Some practices also offer pre-booking discounts in order to encourage prompt return. If your doctor offers this, take advantage -- it will help you to maintain your great results! Additionally, regular useage can result in less frequent...

Botox and crow's feet
Botox usually lasts about four months but I find that it starts wearing off within about 3 months. I prefer patients to come back by about 3 months before the muscle has a chance to get back to normal, This will limit the ability of the crow's feet lines to be recreated.

How often do you need Botox?
Botox , and it's competitor Dysport, are neurotoxins that paralyze the muscles it is injected into. The result is reduction in lines and wrinkles. It can reduce the "11's" between your eyebrows, the horizontal forehead lines, or the crow's feet around your eyes. The results last about 4 months. Keep in mind, it does not wear-off all at once, so you may see it begin to wear-off around 3 months but may not be completely gone until 5 months. Each person...

Botox and Crow's Feet
Botox typically lasts from 3-6 months. The crow's feet area is more variable because when you smile, the skin from your cheeks has to have some where to go, and it will still go upward. So your crow's feet will look better at rest, but when you smile, they will not be gone completely!

Botox Duration for Crow's Feet
The average duration of Botox efficacy in the upper face and crows feet region is roughly 3 months. This is a statistic officially stated by Allergan, born out with over 10 years experience of injecting Botox. Some patients have a perception that Botox lasts longer. Regular, repetitive use of Botox can cause mild disuse atrophy in the muscles that cause crows feet, making the effective duration longer.

Botox will last about 3 months
Botox effect last about 3 months. However, with repeated Botox injections every three months, the muscles can weaken to the point that the when the Botox wears off it will take time for them to work as well as they did before one ever had Botox, thus one could stretch out their treatments to every 4 to 4.5 months. However, the actual Botox only lasts for 3 months.

Frequency of Botox treatments
My patients on average, return between four and five months for repeat Botox treatments in the Crow's feet but when I see some of them for other procedures we note that the muscle has started to contract again between three and four months. Often the patient has retrained themselves and they dont' squint as much after the Botox so when it wears off the lines don't come right back. Also, many patients have tried to extend the time between treatments for financial concerns.

Initially every 3-4 months.
Hello,
Botox to the crow's foot area is very common. Botox is used to reduce the dynamic or movement-related appearance of wrinkles. Botox will soften the appearance of these wrinkles. Often Botox is combined with skin care and laser resurfacing to optimize the appearance of the crow's foot area. Initially you will probably need injections every 3-4 months. With regular use, the muscles in the area will atrophy and will become weaker. This will...

Botox is usually repeated between 3 and 6 months
There are many factors that will contribute to how often you need to repeat your Botox treatment for crows feet. Factors that affect the longevity are the number of units used, your own body metabolic rate, muscle strength, and even how long you have been treating the muscles that cause the crows feet.

Botox Treatment Timeline
On average, my patients see results for about 3 months after a botox treatment. However, as with any procedure, some patients will get results that are longer or shorter in duration. My best recommendation is to find a treating physician whom you trust and have them develop a treatment plan that works for you. I try to individualize both treatment dosage and frequency to optimize my patients results and maximize thelongevity of the result.

How long will Botox last
Just as with other muscles Botox in the crows feet area may last from 3-6 months. Everyone breaks it down just a little differently. It's always preferable to repeat the treatment before all effect is gone. It lasts longer that way.

Frequency of Botox injections for crow's feet
Periorbital wrinkles, known as crow’s feet, are caused by the hyperactivity of the muscle surrounding the eye, the orbicularis oculi. Three or four injection points are used lateral to the orbital rim. In my experience, these injections need to be repeated every 4 months for optimal control of these wrinkles. Over time, as the muscle begins to weaken, the injections will often last longer and longer.

Botox can really reduce crows feet lines.
You probable need Botox 3 times a year, at most 4 times a year to deal with crows feet. This may decrease as years pass if you keep using it.

Botox/Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months
The duration of effect for Botox or Dysport in the face is about 3 to 4 months, assuming an adequate dose was used. The optimal dose will vary a bit from one person to another, and some people do get a longer duration of effect, but there isn't any magic technique to make the effect last longer.
