How long does a Botox treatment last?;

Probably the most famous cosmetic surgery in the world, Botox is one of the first choices of men and women who want a face with smooth, relaxed skin without signs of aging. For those who do not know, botox is called butylin toxin or botulinum toxin, which is applied in injectable doses mainly to smooth wrinkles in the middle of the eyebrows, on the forehead, around the mouth, on the chin, on the neck and elsewhere. With the right application, in addition to corrective, its action can significantly slow down the aging process.

But what is the right frequency to achieve the best possible result?

The results last from 3 to 6 months, but new research has shown that with regular repetitions for 2 years the frequency can be gradually reduced. This means that with visits every six months or so, the effect is extended and therefore the cost is reduced. Of course, this always depends on your skin type and the mixture that will be used by the dermatologist who will give you the treatment.

I was told that botox it lasts for months, but it did not last me that long. What has happened;

Every skin type is different, however some reasons why your treatment did not last so long may have to do with excessive dose dilution, poor vial maintenance or too frequent repeated doses. Another reason may be the intense muscle mobility. There are facial muscles that have the ability to be very strong, and this varies from person to person.

Also, men tend to have more muscle mobility than women and so a higher dose of Botox may be required for a proper result.

What can I do to prolong the result?

Trust us first! A diagnosis by a dermatologist can completely personalize Botox treatment depending on your age, skin type and lifestyle (for example if you like to spend a lot of time in the sun or if you smoke) and give you the best possible result, especially for your needs. Then, some other steps you can take after your appointment are to avoid heavy traffic for the first 12 hours, very hot baths, smoking and alcohol. Also keep in mind that repeat treatment before 3 months should be avoided because you may see an improvement in the short term, but in the long run the effectiveness decreases.
