You’ve finally invested in Botox and your face looks better than it has in years. Now that you have taken this big step towards looking younger, you’re probably wondering, how can I make Botox last longer?

So, How Can I Make Botox Last Longer?

Botox blocks communication between the muscles in your face and your nerve endings. Eventually, your muscles are able to restore communication and the effects of Botox wear off.

You are able to frown and move the muscles in your forehead again, and this causes wrinkles to return. While you can’t make Botox forever, there is great news!  There are several ways to extend the effects of Botox.

Avoid Excessive Heat and Heavy Exercise

It is best to avoid heat and intense workouts for the first 24 hours after Botox. These activities may cause Botox to move and lessen its effect.

Avoid Tanning Beds and Sun Damage

To keep your Botox looking its best, wear a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Always avoid peak UV hours and tanning beds.

Take Care of Your Skin and Maintain a Healthy Diet

Whether you have Botox or not, the best-looking skin is healthy skin. Talk to your dermatologist about a tailored skincare routine, stay hydrated, and consume a skin-nourishing diet.

Stop Smoking and Stress Less.

Both smoking and stress age your skin. If you’re a smoker, stop smoking immediately. Practice activities like yoga and meditation to help keep stress levels down.

Get a Treatment Program and Try Using Fillers

The best way to extend the results of Botox is by finding an expert who can customize a treatment program to your specific needs. Combining facial fillers and Botox is an amazing way to restore youthful looking skin.
