Does Botox on the forehead wear off faster for first timer users and does making facial expressions have any impact?

Hi @Courageous631849! Great questions. There are a few reasons why Botox does not last in some people.

1, You are being under dosed. Average patient uses 64 units for the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
2. High metabolizer. Reasons for this include aerobic exercise running, HIIT. Going into steam rooms and saunas.
3. You develop Botox resistance. Your body is developing antibodies against Botox, which makes your results less potent.

Hello and thank you for your question- making facial expressions will have no impact on the longevity of the results- Botox last approximately 3 months by the time you would need a further treatment.
I hope that helps with your query, best wishes

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Botox injection is an excellent treatment for facial wrinkles and works by temporarily paralyzing the targeted muscles. Results typically last 3-4 months and the duration is similar for first-time users vs. someone who is having repeat injections.
I would recommend an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results.
I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz
