Typically, Botox lasts for approximately 3-4 months. You will begin to notice the return of movement to the muscles and even the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. However, with regular treatments every 3-4 months you may notice that the results will begin to last longer and you will need to come in for treatment less often.
Botox has been used medically even in small children for conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, MS and muscle spasms. It is also used to treat blepherospasms, migraines, hyperhydrosis and Bell’s Palsy. It is one of the most researched prescription medications in history with hundreds of extensive studies.
Every face is unique. Some patients have severe wrinkles in their 20’s and some patients are in their 60’s with hardly any wrinkles at all. During a consultation with Dr. Skouras, he will be able to assess how much Botox is required if at all.
