How Long Does Botox Last?
In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi explains Botox durations, as well as the effect of lifestyle factors on its longevity.
The duration of Botox treatments can vary, primarily depending on the quantity administered and the specific purpose of the treatment. In cases involving issues like clenching or grinding, injections are typically required every three months to maintain their effectiveness. In contrast, for addressing facial wrinkles, the effects can endure anywhere from three to six months, with the precise duration being contingent on the severity of the treated wrinkles.
It is important to bear in mind that several lifestyle factors can play a pivotal role in influencing how long Botox’s effects last, particularly in facial treatments. For instance, exposure to sunlight can expedite the breakdown of Botox, hastening the waning of its effects. Similarly, the consumption of alcohol can also reduce the longevity of the treatment’s effectiveness. Hence, the lasting impact of Botox hinges not only on factors such as the treatment area and dosage but also significantly on your individual lifestyle habits.
