If you have to ask yourself the question “is my Botox lasting long enough” you are likely not a stranger to the magic that is Botox Cosmetics.

After all, Botox has been the gold standard for eliminating unwanted wrinkles on the face for years.

But, if there some instances where your treatment may not be lasting as long as it should.

We explore these reasons, below.

What Is Botox?

Botox is an injectable toxin that paralyzes the muscles in the face which cause the formation of visible wrinkles.

Once Botox has relaxed the muscle, it also releases the wrinkle from forming on your face.

How Long Should Botox Last?

Most patients should expect their results from their injection treatment to last about three-to-four months.

You Have Been Under Dosed

Most patients require an average of 64 units of Botox to effectively target the muscles in the three main areas (forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet.)

If you are not being injected with enough units of Botox, your results will be less likely to last for the expected time.

Additionally, some patients require more units of Botox due to strong facial muscles that are harder to relax.

This is something that your injector can figure out over time as they learn more about your personal facial anatomy.

You Are Being Cheap

One of the reasons why an injector might perform a treatment with less product that is necessary is because the patient is insisting on a specific price range.

Think of it this way, if you only fill your gas tank up half way you will need to get gas more frequently.

The same is true for Botox, if you only pay for a portion of the treatment required to address your wrinkles, you will need to be injected more often to maintain your results.
