How long does Botox results typically last for cosmetic and medical uses?

Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months for both cosmetic and most medical uses. Effects may vary from 2 to 6 months depending on factors such as dosage, treatment area, metabolism, muscle activity, and repeated use.

What are the main medical conditions treated with Botox besides wrinkles?

Botox is used to treat chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, cervical dystonia, eye disorders, overactive bladder, muscle spasticity, sialorrhea, spasmodic dysphonia, and more. It works by blocking nerve signals to relax muscles or glands.

Why does Botox take 2 weeks to show results in some treatments?

Botox takes 10 to 14 days to show full results because it must bind to nerve terminals, enter the cell, and block neurotransmitter release. This biological process takes time to affect muscle activity.

Is Botox safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Botox is not recommended during pregnancy due to limited safety data. While the risk appears low, providers advise avoiding Botox during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless medically necessary.

What are the main differences between cosmetic and medical uses of Botox?

Cosmetic Botox reduces wrinkles and is not covered by insurance. Medical Botox treats conditions like migraines and hyperhidrosis, is often covered, and uses higher doses in different injection sites.
