How Often Should One One Use Botox if You Are 34 and a Smoker?

Botox usually lasts 3-4 months in between treatments.  I always say its once a season for Botox.  There is some vartiability among patients but this is a general rule. 

If too much Botox is injected around your mouth, you may not be able to speak or eat properly, so only a small amount is injected.  Puckering with smoking will wear it off more quickly, so the lasting effect of the Botox will vary.

Smoking should not affect the efficacy of botox.  Most patients get 3 months of relaxation with Botox.  Some last longer.   If it wears off sooner, you may need a stronger dose at your next treatment.

If you are a smoker you should probably do it every three to four months in between treatments.

You can use Botox again as soon as you see the past treatment is waring off. If you have to do this before three months you are probably not getting enough at each visit. 

Smoking has no effect on Botox; however, smoking affects the small vessels, producing premature aging.  Everyone is different; some patients want followup treatments at 4 months but I saw someone today who remained happy for 9 months.  This is a personal and financial decision.

Botox does not appear to be affected by smoking.  It will last about 3 months, a little more in glabella, a little less in the forehead.  If you allow the muscles to regain their full activity, you lose out on the long term benefits of weakening these muscles.  This is the average time it takes for the Botox to wear off but I have some people that it last for about 6 months.  You can wait longer if you wish with not detrimental effects.

Botox is a wonderful way to relax and prevent wrinkles from forming. Most of the time, it lasts between 3-4 months but some folks can have it last longer or shorter depending on their genetics.
