BOTOX results typically last 3–4 months for both aesthetic and TMJ treatments, though individual experiences can vary based on your metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment goals. Most patients find that with regular treatments, results may last longer as muscles become trained to relax.
What Affects How Long BOTOX Lasts?
Several factors influence your BOTOX duration. Your individual metabolism affects how quickly your body processes the treatment—some patients metabolize BOTOX faster than others. The strength and size of the treated muscles also play a role, with larger, more active muscles sometimes requiring more frequent touch-ups.
For TMJ treatment, the severity of your jaw clenching or teeth grinding habits can impact longevity. Patients with severe bruxism may need more frequent treatments initially, while those with milder symptoms often enjoy longer-lasting relief.
- Aesthetic BOTOX Results — For facial wrinkles, you'll typically notice results beginning within 3–7 days, with full effects visible by two weeks. These results generally maintain their peak effectiveness for about 3 months, then gradually diminish over the fourth month.
- TMJ Pain Relief Duration — BOTOX for jaw pain often provides relief that lasts 3–4 months, though some patients experience benefits for up to six months. The muscle relaxation helps reduce clenching intensity, which can provide ongoing relief even as the BOTOX effect diminishes.
