How Long Does Botox Last and How Often Should I Get It? | EWAH Bogotá

One of the most frequently asked questions before a first Botox appointment is: how long do the results last and how often should the treatment be repeated? The answer depends on several factors we'll break down for you.

How Long Do Botox Results Last?

In general terms, Botox lasts between 3 and 6 months. Areas with higher muscle movement — such as the frown lines and forehead — tend to metabolize the product faster than areas like crow's feet. Individual metabolism, the amount of product applied, and the frequency of previous treatments also directly influence duration.

What Factors Affect Duration?

Basal metabolism, level of intense physical activity, the treated area, and prior experience with botulinum toxin are the main determinants. Patients who maintain consistent treatment cycles over time tend to need smaller doses gradually, as the muscle is progressively trained and develops less hyperactivity.

How Often Does EWAH Recommend Maintenance?

At EWAH by Dr. Lorena Pinzón we recommend maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months to preserve optimal results and prevent deep wrinkle formation. Waiting too long between sessions can allow wrinkles to reactivate with the same intensity. Consistency is the key to natural and progressive long-term results.

What Happens If I Don't Get Botox on Time?

If more than 6 months pass without maintenance, the muscles regain their normal activity and expression lines may reappear. There is no rebound effect and your face will not look 'worse' than before — it simply returns to its pre-treatment state. Schedule your next session at ewah-derm.com or WhatsApp +57 312 305 3887.
