Botox Duration Timeline
What most patients notice after treatment
Day 1 to 3
No visible change. Botox is starting to act under the skin.
Day 4 to 7
Muscle movement softens. Wrinkles and lines look lighter.
Day 10 to 14
Full results. Skin appears smoother and more relaxed.
Month 3 to 6
Gradual wear-off. Movement returns slowly, not suddenly.
Clinical guidance from the Mayo Clinic notes that botulinum toxin effects typically develop gradually, peak within two weeks, and wear off over several months.
Where Does It Last Longest?
Forehead Botox usually lasts around 3 to 4 months due to constant movement. However, areas with less activity naturally hold results longer:
- Frown lines between eyebrows
- kaki gagak around the eyes
- Jaw slimming (Can last up to 6 months+)
With regular treatments, your muscles “learn” to stay relaxed, often leading to longer durations over time.
Why Our Botox Lasts Well
At Nexus Clinic, we focus on balanced dosing instead of maximum dosing. Over-injecting can cause Botox to wear off unevenly as the body tries to compensate. Proper placement and muscle mapping help results last longer and fade naturally.
Can Lifestyle Affect Duration?
Yes, your metabolism and habits play a significant role.
Metabolism
High-intensity workouts and fast metabolism can shorten duration.
Expressions
Very strong facial movements can cause the product to wear faster.
Stress
High stress levels can impact the body’s absorption and muscle recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox last the first time?
Usually around 3 months. Longevity often improves with subsequent sessions.
Does Botox last longer if more units are used?
Not always. Correct placement is far more critical than simply increasing dosage.
Can Botox wear off in just 2 months?
In cases of very strong muscles or first-time patients, it is possible for it to fade sooner.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles from getting deeper?
Yes. Regular maintenance slows wrinkle progression by keeping the skin relaxed.
