Answer: Duration of Botox Hello, Thank you for your question.Botox usually takes 2 or 3 days to start to work, and will continue to improve over the first 7 to 10 days. The improvement will last up to 6 months. Once the effect starts to wear off, you will need a repeat treatment to continue the anti-wrinkle result. Some find that the effects last longer after having multiple treatments, even up to a year. Some factors that can effect the duration of your results can be the amount which was initially administered by your injector, your metabolism, as well as the frequency of your treatments. Discuss what has worked well for you with your injector. Take care.

Answer: Why Does Botox Last Longer in Some Patients? This is a good question and there are many factors involved. I recently wrote an article on the mechanism of Botox and why it works differently. Furthermore, people who use it longer tend to notice different effects than those who just started using it. I posted a link below that may help.Dr James P.

Answer: Botox result longevity There are several factors that contribute to result longevity, but I’m unaware of any medical research that points to a specific gene that directly affects this. Some factors that I am aware of that influence longevity include the following:frequency of treatment - the more treatments that have been performed in a patient’s experience, the longer results last with every subsequent treatment the amount administered - the number of units should be accurately administered for the patient your metabolism - the faster your metabolism, the faster your results may fade

Answer: Botox duration Thank you for your question. I believe the greatest determinant of how long Botox works, is the dosing that is used and injecting it into the correct target muscle. There are some injection points were you purposely do not want a full correction, as it may cause undesirable effects. Examples include the forehead lines where causing too much of a correction may result in brow heaviness. I tend to use higher doses in areas where there is more muscle mass. I would recommend that you visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist in your area who can discuss your specific concerns.
