If you are concerned about the unyielding fine lines and wrinkles you see when you look in the mirror, Botox® is a quick and simple way to smooth wrinkles and restore a youthful appearance.
At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine, we offer Botox® to patients looking for a non-surgical, low downtime facial rejuvenation treatment.
Our patients are generally happy with the outcome of their Botox® treatment but wish it lasted longer. So how long does Botox® last?
Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles with Botox®
Botox® Cosmetic is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. These are dynamic wrinkles that form due to repeated muscle movements.
When Botox® is injected below the skin, it temporarily blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting so the wrinkles become smoother, and the face looks more youthful.
At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery, our aesthetician will customize your Botox® treatments based on your specific needs to ensure you get the most natural-looking results.
When will You See Results?
Botox® yields visible results about 3-5 days after treatment, but optimal results can take up to 14 days.
How Long Does Botox® Last?
The results of Botox® generally last 3-4 months. However, this timeline can vary from patient to patient, as it depends on factors such as the dosage received, the area being treated, and how quickly your body metabolizes Botox®.
First-time Botox® users may experience a shorter result, but patients who get repeat treatments may enjoy a longer duration.
Botox® wears off gradually, and the nerves will once again transmit signals to the muscles and cause them to contract, so wrinkles will reappear.
Benefits of Botox®
Botox® is a quick, convenient way to rejuvenate your face without surgery. Treatment takes less than an hour to complete, and there is no downtime. Consequently, you can resume daily activities after Botox® injections at Cornerstone Plastic Surgery.
Side-effects after Botox® are minimal. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few hours.
