The first 2 photos are before Botox and the last photo is after 2 Botox sessions (3 months apart). Botox def softened the lines but I see them coming back every 2-3 months. Is there something else I can do in addition to Botox to possibly stop these deep forehead creases from coming back so strong? Is Botox safe to perform long-term? I’m in early 50s but don’t want to inject Botox for the rest of my life. Any suggestions for possibly a more permanent solution?

Answer: How long will your Botox last? Hi Jim! Congratulations your Botox results look amazing! With that said Botox typically only lasts 3 months and it is typical to see movement start to return around 2 1/2 months. The only way to increase longevity is to increase the dosage however this is not always advised because it can cause unwanted aesthetic outcomes. There really is no "permanent" solution. We often encourage our patients to pair their botox with device work medical grade skincare which will increase the collagen in their skin and decrease the static lines.

Answer: Recommendations Botox is safe long term. Other things that you can do are using physical blocker (sunscreen) to prevent further degradation of elastic fibers within the dermis. Daily moisturizers help with fine lines. Laser resurfacing would help with deeper lines and smooth out appearance.
