How Long Does Botox® Last?

Each smile, frown, or raised eyebrow communicates your emotions to the people around you. However, each one contributes to the development of expression lines and wrinkles that form in areas where facial muscles pull and crease the skin. Botox® restores a refreshed appearance so you can feel more confident.

What is Botox®? 

Botox® is an injectable form of a compound called botulinum toxin, a neuromodulator that relaxes over-active muscles. It has a wide range of medical and aesthetic uses, including a range of anti-aging benefits. Your Coolspa team also offers a range of other botulinum toxin products, including Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®. 

How Does Botox® Work?

When injected, Botox® reaches the facial nerves that trigger muscle contractions. It temporarily halts signals between the nerve and muscles, allowing the targeted muscles to relax. Without constant muscle activity, your lines and wrinkles become smoother and less visible. Your features look refreshed and relaxed while still looking like you. 

How Long Does Botox® Last?

Because botulinum toxin’s effects on nerves are temporary, Botox® effects will wear off over time. Most people find that their results last three to four months. Other neuromodulators may last longer for some people, and people who have been getting Botox® regularly for some time may enjoy their results a bit longer. 

The use of quality skincare products and sunscreen can help your Botox® results last as long as possible. They will also help prevent your wrinkles from worsening over time. Your Coolspa team will be happy to help you select the best products for your skin. 

Is There Any Downtime After Botox®?

One reason for the enduring popularity of Botox® is the lack of downtime. You can return to work or your usual activities with few restrictions, although you should avoid strenuous activities or rubbing your face for the rest of the day. You may notice slight redness, bruising, or swelling in the area that fades within a few days. Botox® is a quick, convenient way to address lines and wrinkles without interrupting your busy day.
