How Long Does Botox® Last? What to Expect from Your Results

If you’re considering Botox® for the first time or you’re a regular looking to maximize results, one of the most common questions is: how long does Botox® last? At Sobel Skin, we specialize in expert Botox® treatments in NYC and are here to guide you through everything you need to know about the longevity of your results.

How Botox® Works 

Botox® is a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. By preventing repeated muscle movement, Botox® smooths the skin and creates a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

How Long Do Botox® Results Last?

On average, Botox® results last between 3 to 4 months. However, the exact duration can vary based on several factors, including:

  • Treatment Area: Botox® tends to last slightly longer in areas like the forehead than in areas with more frequent movement. 
  • Dosage: The amount of Botox® used plays a role in how long the effects last. 
  • Your body’s metabolism: Individuals who metabolize the product faster may notice a shorter duration.
  • Consistency of Treatments: With regular use, some patients find that their results begin to last longer over time. 

At Sobel Skin on the Upper East Side, we tailor each Botox® treatment to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, helping you achieve results that look natural and last as long as possible. 

When Will You See Results?

You’ll typically begin to notice the effects of Botox® within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible in about 7 to 10 days. The treated muscles will gradually relax, and you’ll see smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Tips to Help Botox® Last Longer 

While Botox® isn’t permanent, there are a few ways to help extend the life of your results:

  • Stay consistent with your treatments 
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Follow post-treatment instructions carefully
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle
  • Limit intense workouts for 24 hours post-injection

Our team at Sobel Skin provides each patient with personalized aftercare recommendations to support the best possible outcome.

How Often Should You Get Botox®?

Most patients return for touch-up treatments every 3-4 months to maintain their results. Over time, with consistent treatment, the muscles may train to contract less forcefully, which can help results last longer and reduce the need for higher doses.
