Generally, Botox lasts 3-4 months. There will undoubtedly be patients in which Botox lasts longer, in that 4-6 month range, or shorter, in that 2-month range. It is common for first-timers to notice that it may not last as long initially but may last longer after the second treatment. This is due to your personal metabolism – Your unique body chemistry will determine how quickly you metabolize Botox.

Results from Botox and Dysport typically become visible within two weeks after your appointment. It’s important to give the treatment time to fully settle and take effect. Some people may notice improvements within a few days, but the final, smooth results generally appear around the two-week mark. If you’re looking for the most accurate outcome, waiting until this time frame is ideal.

Here’s a quick list of 24-hour don’ts after Botox or Dysport:

Do Not:

• Go to the gym or engage in strenuous exercise.
• Sweat excessively (avoid activities that cause heavy sweating).
• Lay down or bend over for at least 4 hours after the treatment.
• Wear tight headbands, hats, or anything that puts pressure on the treated area.

These simple steps help ensure the best possible results from your Botox or Dysport treatment!

Botox and Dysport are both botulinum toxin treatments for wrinkles, but Dysport spreads more easily and shows results faster, usually in 2-3 days. Botox is more precise and typically lasts a bit longer. Dysport may require more units to achieve similar results. The choice depends on your needs and skin response.
