If you’re exploring Botox, or it’s been a while since your last visit, you might be wondering how long the results actually last - and how often you need to book in to maintain them.
It’s a fair question. Most people don’t want to overdo it, but no one wants to wait until everything wears off either.
The short answer: Botox typically lasts around three to four months. But that number can shift depending on your skin, your lifestyle, and how consistent you are with treatment.
After your appointment, the results won’t appear instantly. You’ll usually start to see a softening of lines within 3 to 5 days. Full results tend to develop around the 10 to 14-day mark.
At Skin Studio, we often suggest a follow-up review at the two-week point - just to make sure everything is settling as it should and to make small adjustments if needed.
On average, you can expect your Botox results to last 3 to 4 months.
For some people, it stretches a bit longer. For others, especially first-timers, it may wear off slightly sooner. Your own body, metabolism, and facial movement all play a part.
If you’re very expressive, have strong facial muscles, or exercise intensely, your results might wear off faster. That doesn’t mean Botox isn’t working - it just means your body processes it more quickly.
There are a few key factors that influence how long your Botox results will stick around:
Most people return every 3 to 4 months. That rhythm keeps results smooth without letting everything wear off completely.
Some clients prefer smaller, more regular doses every 2–3 months. Others stretch to 5 or even 6 months between appointments. It really depends on the look you’re going for and how your muscles respond over time.
One thing we do see consistently: when you stay consistent, results tend to improve. Muscles gradually weaken with repeated treatment, which can mean you need less product over time to achieve the same effect.
You can’t control everything, but a few simple things can help:
At Skin Studio, your Botox treatment begins with a detailed consultation with an experienced aesthetic doctor. We take the time to understand your facial anatomy, your goals, and how much movement you want to keep.
There’s no guesswork. Every dose is personalised and carefully placed. We work with trusted products, offer follow-up support, and never pressure you to do more than you need.
This isn’t about freezing your face. It’s about working with your features, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals - so your skin looks like you, just a little more rested.
Whether it’s your first treatment or time for a refresh, we’re here to help you get results that feel natural, not noticeable.
You can book a free consultation with one of our doctors to discuss your options, ask questions, and see if wrinkle treatment is right for you.
