How Long Does Botox Last?

More commonly referred to as Botox treatment, Anti-Wrinkle Injectables are specifically designed to help patients in many ways. Treating everything from frown lines to crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles, anti-wrinkle Botox injections can help. In addition to reducing the signs of ageing by relaxing facial muscles, injectables can also help encourage skin hydration.

Before having your first course of injectable treatments, it’s essential to understand the timescales and what to expect. In this blog, we’ll cover how long anti-wrinkle injections last and tips for making them last longer.

Like most good things, Botox and anti-wrinkle injectables are only temporary. Cosmetic anti-wrinkle injections last between 4-6 months. So if you want your skin to stay plump and wrinkle-free long-term, more than one treatment cycle is required.

Results are visible after one treatment, but aesthetics vary between patients depending on how quickly your body processes the toxin. Please speak to one of our team about the results you want and the best options for your skin. Our consultations are completely free and focus entirely on the treatment that would be best for you and your needs.

Although Botox Injectables can last for months, there are things that you can do to prevent wrinkles after your treatment. Some of the things you can do to help your injectables last longer include:

Hydrating with water – Drinking around 6 to 8 glasses of water daily can help to keep your skin hydrated. This will help to prevent wrinkles from returning.

Moisturise and cleanse your skin – Help your skin stay refreshed with delicate cleansers that help to remove dead skin. It is also important to use moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and wrinkle-free. Besides, who wants dry skin anyway?

Eat a healthy diet – The food we eat can also impact our skin’s health. Certain foods, like fish, nuts and seeds, can help increase the length of time your injectables will last.

Avoid smoking – In short, smoking is terrible for your skin. Even after treatment, smoking is likely to reduce the lasting effects of the injectables and cause your skin to wrinkle again. Of course, this can be difficult, but by stopping or cutting back, your smooth and wrinkle-free face will thank you.

Following the suggestions above will help keep your skin healthy and wrinkle-free. Lifestyle choices are the main factors in the formation of wrinkles. By making these changes, you will certainly get the most out of your anti-wrinkle injectables.

Treatment usually takes around 10 minutes. However, this will vary depending on the treated area and the Botox solution used. This procedure is available to adults over 18 and requires a full consultation before treatment.

It is important to note that patient results vary due to age, lifestyle and medical history. However, this will be covered in your initial consultation before any treatment takes place.
