How to Get the Most Out of Your Botox Results

Just had Botox - or thinking about it? One of the most common questions we hear is how to make results last and look their best.

The good news? A few small actions can make a real difference. Here’s everything you need to know to protect your results, maintain that smooth, refreshed look, and avoid early fading.

Know What to Expect

Botox isn’t instant. You’ll usually notice a softening of lines between days 3 and 5, with full results showing by day 10 to 14.

On average, results last 3 to 4 months. Some people stretch that to 5 or 6 months, while others prefer smaller, more regular doses. Everyone’s different - your muscle strength, metabolism, and movement all play a role.

Follow the Right Aftercare

The first 24 hours are key to getting the best result. A few simple steps go a long way:

• Don’t rub or massage the treated area
• Stay upright for at least 4 hours
• Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy sweating for 24 hours
• Skip facials, saunas, and steam rooms for a few days
• Avoid alcohol that day

These aftercare tips help the product settle where it’s meant to and minimise the risk of it moving to other areas.

Stick to a Consistent Schedule

Botox works by relaxing specific muscles. But those muscles will gradually regain strength if left too long between treatments.

By staying consistent - typically every 3 to 4 months - your results become more reliable, and the treatment often works better over time. Your doctor can help build a schedule that suits your goals and facial movement.

Choose the Right Injector

This is one of the most important factors. A qualified, experienced doctor will know how to assess your facial structure, muscle activity, and skin to get the dose and placement exactly right.

At Skin Studio, all wrinkle-reducing treatments are performed by doctors who take a personalised approach - never rushed, never one-size-fits-all. We use certified products (including Botox and Xeomin) and always put precision first.

Your Lifestyle Matters Too

There are a few things that can affect how long Botox lasts - even with perfect placement.

• Exercise: Very intense workouts may speed up how your body processes the product
• Sun exposure: Too much UV can stress the skin and reduce longevity
• Stress: High stress can lead to more muscle activity, especially in the face
• Skincare: Using good-quality skincare and staying hydrated supports healthier skin overall

None of these mean you can’t exercise or enjoy Bali life - it’s just helpful to know what plays a part.

Noticing Early Fade?

Sometimes, one area may fade quicker than others. That doesn’t mean anything went wrong - it may just be how your body responds.

If you're concerned, check in with your clinic. Skin Studio offers follow-up reviews and, if needed, can adjust or top up your treatment safely.

FAQs

How long will my Botox results last?
Most people see results for 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatments, results may last longer over time.

Can exercise make Botox wear off faster?
High-intensity workouts may cause your body to metabolise the product faster. It varies from person to person.

What should I avoid after Botox?
Avoid rubbing the area, strenuous activity, alcohol, heat, and facials for at least 24 hours.

Does drinking water help Botox last longer?
Hydration supports overall skin health, but it won’t directly make Botox last longer. Still - drink your water.

Can skincare affect my Botox?
Good skincare helps maintain healthy skin, which complements your results. Just avoid active treatments too soon after Botox.
