i was told that after doing it many times it would last longer. i was also told that (to an extent at least) the muscles might eventually become permanently relaxed thus lessening the need for further botox
Answer: Botox duration with repeated treatments Thank you for your question. The duration of action for Botox will increase over a period of years after repeated treatment. This is because the muscles may decrease in caliber after extended periods of inactivity.

Answer: Botox will not permanently paralyze your muscles, but the effect can be additive if done regularly Botox makes it so you are not "using" those muscles by blocking the process that causes contraction. When you don't use muscles, whether it be that you stop exercising your muscles at the gym or you block the motion of facial muscles with Botox, the the muscles get smaller (atrophy). If you resume your Pilates, your muscles will increase in size, which is what happens if you don't have regular Botox treatments. So, if you receive Botox on a regular basis, you can weaken the muscles over time to the point that a single treatment can seem to have a longer effect since the muscle takes longer to resume action strong enough to create fine lines or wrinkles.

Answer: Is it true that Botox can train your muscles Thank you for your questions. Yes, over time Botox's effects may result in muscle atrophy which may lessen the amount of Botox needed in subsequent treatment periods, or in longer overall effects. If you were to stop with your Botox treatments, the previously injected muscles will hypertrophy, increasing back to their original size. Hope this helps.

Answer: Is it true that Botox can train your muscles Dear Adrian, For the majority of patients, the more frequently you receive Botox the less units you will need over time since the muscle will atrophy. It does not prolong the effects of Botox. Botox will last approximately 3 months. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for more information.
