How Long Does Botox Last? A Month-by-Month Breakdown

So you finally did it — you booked your first Botox appointment. You’re excited, a little nervous, and wondering… How long will this last?

Let’s break it down, month by month.

⏰ Week 1: Subtle Shifts Begin

• Day 1–2: No major change yet

• Day 3–7: You’ll start to feel less movement in treated areas

⏳ Week 2: Full Results

By day 14, results are in full effect. Wrinkles soften, and your face looks refreshed — not frozen.

📆 Month 2–3: The Sweet Spot

This is your Botox prime time. Results look natural and movement is minimal.

🌀 Month 3-4: Fade Begins

The neuromodulator starts wearing off gradually. Some movement returns.

🔄 Month 4: Time to Refresh

Most patients return for a touch-up around the 3–4 month mark to maintain consistency.

💡 What Affects Longevity?

• Your metabolism

• How expressive you are

• Dosage and product used

• Whether you stay consistent

Pro tip: Regular treatments can train muscles to move less, making results last longer.
