Botox for ED - how often is it needed for maintenance?

Question

Realistically how often is it needed for maintenance? Lots of people say 6 months. Others say every 4 is more realistic. Since it takes a couple weeks to kick in 6 months seems pretty unrealistic given the norms for Botox in the face. I work out a lot and tend to metabolize quicker than others. Thoughts?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The results from Botox typically last three to four months, but it does vary from person to person.  If you metabolize the product quicker, you may need more frequent maintenance.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

The frequency of maintenance for procedures like fat transfer can vary among individuals based on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific treatment area. While some people may find that the effects last around 6 months, others may see changes sooner. It's essential to discuss your expectations and concerns with your surgeon, who can provide personalized advice based on your unique circumstances. Regular follow-up appointments with your medical professional will also help assess the longevity of the results and determine the optimal timing for any maintenance treatments if needed.

Best of luck !

Hello, Botox lasts for four months, as stated in the prospectus. I consider this as an average since I've observed that the effects can vary from person to person. In some individuals, the effect can last up to six months, while in others, it may fade in three months. Therefore, the thickness of muscles, frequency of activity, and the development of antibodies are crucial factors for the duration of Botox effects. I often administer the treatment twice a year to my patients.
