How Long Does Botox Last?

Typcially final Botox results are seen after 2 weeks. For most patients the effects of Botox gradually fade over 3 to 4 months. It may be a little shorter or longer for some patients based on factors such as metabolism or if a patient was undertreated (received too low of a dose for full results).

Botox is a neurotoxin that varies in duration from patient to patient, but average duration is 3-4 months. Because every patient's muscle activity and receptor production is different, there are individual variations in how long it may last. Dose can affect this as well, with lower doses in larger muscles not lasting as long.

Thank you for the question. Most patients enjoy their Botox improvements for about 3-4 months. Some may find the neuromodulator lasts a bit longer. Patients might also discover that as they continue to undergo treatments regularly, they can stretch a bit further between procedures without sacrificing their positive results. However, that is not always the case. To ensure your Botox provides the best and longest results, make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified injector.
