How long does Botox last?

 How long is Botox effective?

Let's begin by defining Botox. Onobotulinumtoxin A, a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, is marketed under the brand name Botox. There are currently four types that have been approved by the FDA to treat cosmetic wrinkles in the face. 

They all prevent muscle contraction by preventing a signal from the nerve to the targeted muscle. There is less action or pull on the skin and less wrinkle formation when these particular muscles are prevented from contracting. Even though these products all have the same effect, their onset, duration of action, and level of discomfort are slightly different.

When to use each product depends on a number of factors. Sometimes it is the preference of the injector or surgeon. In other situations, a patient might have tried a number of different products and found that one worked better for them than the other. In either case, when used correctly, each of these products is safe and effective.

What to anticipate during your procedure Last but not least, the actual query. Your injector will frequently talk with you about your goals before injecting you. Following an examination, they will be able to determine if those goals can be achieved with the use of neurotoxin. It's your lucky day if it can!

Your face will be purified and the regions that are to be infused, conceivably set apart with a removable eyeliner/marker. In order to alleviate any discomfort, you might receive ice packs or numbing cream. The injections will be given to various areas to target the desired muscles when you are ready.

At the actual injection site, you might have a few small bumps in your skin, but by the time you leave the office, these will be gone. 

Onset neurotoxins usually start to work in 3-5 days, but you may not see the full effects for 7-10 days. I always advise my patients to wait a full two weeks after their Botox injections; if they require a touch-up, we will provide it at that time. The toxin takes time to stop those muscle-specific nerve impulses, which is why it takes so long. It takes some time.

Duration Now, don't we all wish that Botox could last forever? 

Regrettably, it does not. The neurotoxin's effects will wear off over time, and the nerves will be able to send signals to the muscles again to start working or contracting. Botox typically lasts three to four months.
