How long does Botox last? Care guide and recommendations

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, has become one of the most popular treatments for rejuvenating the face and smoothing expression lines. It is an excellent option if you are looking for natural results without surgery and with minimal recovery time. There are many questions about this treatment, but one of the most common is: how long does Botox last?

At Ideal Plastic Surgery, we perform the application with technique, precision, and safety, so you feel and look incredible.

How long does Botox last

What is it and how does it work?

Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, those lines that appear when you laugh, frown, or raise your eyebrows. As the muscles relax, the skin appears smoother, and the face looks fresher and more rested.

It is a quick procedure, usually lasting 15-30 minutes, and results begin to be noticeable within 3-7 days after application.

How long do the results of Botox last?

The duration of the effect on the face can vary from person to person, but, on average, it can last 3 to 6 months. Over time, muscle activity gradually returns, and expression lines may reappear, so maintenance applications are recommended to preserve the results.

For us, this treatment must be performed by experts, as it helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles, especially if applied consistently, so that the muscles become accustomed to being relaxed.

Care after applying botulinum toxin

After applying botulinum toxin, it is important to follow specific recommendations to ensure that the product works correctly and to avoid unwanted effects:
Avoid lying down or leaning forward for the first 4 hours.
Do not engage in strenuous physical activity for the first 24 hours.
Avoid massaging or touching the treated areas.
Do not expose yourself to the sun or high temperatures (such as saunas or Turkish baths) for the first few days.
Keep your skin clean and moisturized, using sunscreen daily.
