Is Micro Botox less lasting than regular botox ?

I do "micro" botox injections and find that you get more natural results.  This is just small amounts injected over the area reather than one large amount in a few areas.  The total number of units is the same for the muscles and i find the results are more natural but the longevity is the same.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi

On average botox should last 3 months. When it comes to botox, dose duration. If you under dose a patient, the likelihood of the product lasting and the area looking smooth is low. While every patient is different and requires a different dose, the muscles in the face are very strong, and each area requires a specific dose to treat it effectively. To help pores and oily skin, treatments such as regular facials, microneedling, and morpheus 8 can help maintain your skin and keep it looking smooth.

Micro-Botox places the Botox within the skin layers, not into the muscles.  Of course there may be a bit of diffusion or movement into the outer muscle.  The same number of units are used but they are dispersed across a wider are.  The key is placement in the skin, not the muscles, so the pores tighten, the neck and forehead are smoother and the skin looks radiant.  Micro-Botox goes beyond what Botox will do for the skin and complexion.  The results from Micro-Botox are amazing. 

Hi Swedish.  Thanks for your question.  MicroBotox is largely a marketing tool to help practitioners differentiate themselves from others.  Regardless of how you do the injections, if the product gets to the right muscle groups it will have the same effects.  We do not set expectations for our patients that Botox will help with large pores and rather have laser treatments and products that help with that.For examples of before and after pictures for Botox injections in Los Angeles, click on the link below.  

Thank you for your question.  As opposed to a more concentrated Botox solution, dilute botox will spread more after injection and lead to more subtle results, though the duration of effects will be the same.  This can be useful in areas that have a lot of smaller wrinkles, like the crows feet, where having the Botox spread more may be more beneficial.  As far as pores, a good skin care regimen, and chemical peels may provide you some benefit.
