How Long Does Botox Last?

Botox 

Botox injections are proven to be an effective solution for treating minor wrinkles and fine lines on people that are reluctant to undergo cosmetic surgeries. However, you should know that unlike facelifts, Botox results are only temporary. Botox treatments can be repeated every few weeks or months for long lasting benefits.

Your medical spa provider shall discuss the treatment in detail during the initial consultation. They will explain the longevity of results. The Lounge of Beauty Medical Spa, led by Dr. Solomon Laktineh and Agnes Lech, RN provides safe and innovative skin care, body contouring, laser and medical aesthetic treatments to patients in Long Beach, Torrance, Huntington Beach, Greater Los Angeles, California, and surrounding communities.

Botox Results Last for Several Months

Most patients getting Botox injections for the first time are likely see results sustain for about three to four months. However, the active ingredient in Botox, botulinum toxin A loses its effect over time. Your muscles will return to their agile state after some time and fine lines and wrinkles will reappear on your face.

However, you can prolong the effects of Botox injections by getting your treatment done by an experienced and trained Botox med spa expert. Lines and wrinkles on your face will lose their prominence over time and the effectiveness of the injections will improve. Underlying muscles can easily get trained to stay in their relaxed state with repetitive injections.

You may not require as many Botox injectables after a few treatments carried out by reputable providers. It is also possible for the gap between two treatments to considerably increase over time.

Longevity of Results Varies

As with any other cosmetic procedure, extent and duration of Botox results can easily vary among two patients. There are several factors dictating the type and duration of results. People that have more prominent facial lines or frown lines tend to have more robust facial muscles. Effects of botulinum toxin may wear off much sooner in such people.

Motion of muscles that are responsible for forming wrinkles will be restored sooner. This is because the underlying muscles will have greater resilience. Conversely, patients that tend to have weaker facial muscles may get to enjoy longer lasting results from their Botox treatments.

Results usually last longer in women as opposed to men. This is because men generally have stronger facial muscles as compared to women.

Should You Get Repeat Treatments?

You should get repeat Botox treatments when the underlying facial muscles begin returning back to their normal state. You could also visit your Botox provider on a regular basis to determine whether you need repeat treatment or not. It is vital that you be as open with your provider as possible about past Botox and other facial cosmetic procedures.

Trained Botox providers understand the importance of maintaining necessary gap between procedures. Longevity of results is usually influenced by the volume of medication injected during a particular Botox treatment. Make sure you freely discuss your facial conditions and the kind of expectations you have.
