When injected for aesthetic reasons, Botox typically lasts four to six months on average. However, the effects of your first treatment may wear off faster. Athletes may find that their botox injections fade faster due to their higher metabolism rate. Physically active bodies tend to heal faster and remove Botox from the body more quickly.
To achieve desired long-term results, it is important to detail your lifestyle during your initial consultation with a Botox specialist. Stress can cause the body to break down Botox more quickly and accelerate the aging process. To maximize the lifespan of your Botox, it is important to participate in stress-relieving activities such as meditation and yoga. There is no way to reverse Botox, but rest assured that the injections are temporary and will go away after 3 to 4 months. If you are concerned about wrinkles and fine lines, Botox injections can be a great way to achieve a smoother appearance.
Women and men in Dallas, TX who regularly schedule BOTOX injections will keep their facial muscles weakened and will not be able to perform movements that cause wrinkles. First, let's understand what Botox is and how it works so that you can better understand how to extend your results with it. Botox is a neurotoxin that works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, which prevents them from contracting and causing wrinkles. Moisturizers containing collagen and hyaluronic acid can be particularly beneficial in keeping skin smooth and healthy and reducing how quickly Botox breaks down in facial muscles. While you can't control how quickly your body metabolizes Botox, there are some steps you can take to make injections last as long as possible and maximize results. First of all, Botox is ineffective against wrinkles and lines caused by sun damage, since they are not caused by muscle movements.
It is also important to avoid strenuous physical activity, massages, facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasions, or any facial treatment 24 hours after your Botox injection. We found that Jeuveau sets up the fastest, Dysport is the one that lasts the longest and Botox tends to need the least amount of touch-ups. In general, it is recommended that patients schedule their treatments approximately every three months, which will allow time for the effects of BOTOX to wear off, but not so much that the muscles begin to regain their strength. The results last longer after several sessions as the skin has more time to regenerate the collagen it needs to fill in those fine lines and wrinkles. By scheduling regular treatments with a qualified specialist at Arsenault Dermatology, you can create a personalized treatment plan to achieve desired long-term results.
