Botox typically lasts up to 12 weeks, and while technically, you can’t make the results last longer, you can extend the length of the injectable’s effectiveness. It takes up to one week for the full results of Botox to become visible, and after that it will lose its effectiveness over the course of 4-6 months.
If you want to reach the full 6 months and make your transition between treatments are minimal as possible, here are 5 tips to help you do that:

It can take up to 7 days for Botox to reach its full results. If you don’t see the results you want, wait at least 6 weeks before trying again. Using different brands or too many treatments too quickly can make your muscles resist Botox or react in undesirable ways to the injectable.
