How long does Botox really last? Here's the honest timeline.
It doesn't last forever, and that's normal. Here's exactly what to expect, from your appointment to your next visit.
Day 0: A few tiny injections. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes. No downtime, so you walk out looking just like you walked in.
Days 3 to 5: The first signs of softening. Lines start to relax as the Botox kicks in.
Week 2: Botox at its best. Around the two-week mark you'll see the full result. Smooth, refreshed, and still you. This is your baseline.
Months 3 to 4: Results slowly fade as movement returns. This is the right time to plan your next visit.
The tip most people miss: rebook around month 3, before the lines fully come back.
That is how you keep your results looking consistent and natural.
