How Often Is Botox Needed in Order to Hide Crow's Feet?

The effects of Botox generally last any where from 3-6 months in most patients. You will probably need to see your dermatologist for Botox injections about 3-4 times a year to keep your crow’s feet relaxed and wrinkle free. 

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 lead to the need for less Botox over time and the injections can then be spaced farther apart than every 3-4 months.

Good luck,

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 visits and potentially cost you less money over time.
