And does exercise make it wear off quicker?
Answer: Botox 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.

Answer: Does Botox on the forehead wear off faster for first timer users and does making facial expressions have any impact? 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 Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Botox- First Timer Thank you for your question. Botox lasts 3-4 months on average for patients, which is also true for first timers. If you do not feel it lasted that time the injector might need to up the dosage for desired result. I hope this helps and best of luck to you.

Answer: Botox Duration Hello Courageous, Great question! Botox and other current neuromodulators are NOT known to wear off faster for first time users. Although rare, some people can develop a tolerance for botox, and have a shorter duration of effect with repeat treatments. Facial expressions shouldn't impact the duration of your treatment. The medication works on the nerves that innervate our facial muscles. Botox blocks the nerves from sending signals to the muscle that tell them to contract. Some people are fast metabolizers and will break down the Botox quicker than others, but for most people, the expected duration of effect is anywhere from 2-6 months depending on the product used and the dosing. Hope this answer was helpful! All the best,Dr G Dominick Gadaleta, MDDG Facial Plastic SurgeryPalo Alto, CA
