How long does Botox Last?

“Approximately how long does Botox last and does it depend on the area’s that are injected??”

I got this question regarding the duration of action of Botox today on my FaceBook page.  I tried to answer it very simply:

My Botox Duration Answer:

So many factors. But I need to boil that question down to an answer. I would say that Botox lasts 3-4 months. It mainly depends on the dosage used vs. the strength of the muscle. So I will aim to try to get the Botox to wear off at the same time. But I am usually very light on the forehead – so that area might lose it’s effect first, followed by crows feet, then lastly the Glabellar complex (11’s between the eyes). Hope the info helps!

With really high injections of Botox, I think it could last 5 months. Many factors to consider: Botox factors, Injector factors, environment factors, and patient factors!
