How long does a botox injection take to wear off?

Thank you for your question.  There is quite a bit of variation between patients as to how long their Botox lasts. Typically after 3 or 4 months (12-16 weeks) patients will begin to see a lessening of the effect. Most patients don't let the effects totally dissipate before being reinjected since they typically like the results. Patient genetics, age, and length of time using the product can all effect how long it lasts.  The amount of product that has been used and technique can also have an impact .  I hope this helps.

There are a number of factors that determine how long you can expect your BOTOX® results to last. Where you receive the injection, how much BOTOX® you get, your facial anatomy and genetic makeup as well as the skill of the injector will all influence how long the BOTOX® stays in your system, but in general, most people notice the effects wearing off within 12 to 16 weeks. Being bedridden won’t likely extend your BOTOX® results.

Thank you very much for your question. On average, the results from Botox injections will last between three and four months, about 12-16 weeks. This will depend on the individual patient, the area being treated, and the extent of correction. You will notice the benefits of the toxin slowly wearing off, at which time a maintenance treatment will extend the results. To get a better idea of your expected results, I recommend a consultation with an experienced Botox provider.
