Botox Injection

There are numerous theories that are widely tossed around however despite these wide ranges in how long a Botox injection lasts there are some typical average times that are fairly accurate that most people can use. The type of injection used, as well as where it is administered however will likely have a huge effect on exactly how long the treatment lasts as well as when a repeat treatment will be necessary.

First, the most popular treatment is the face. Most people who are looking to a Botox treatment are interested in removing wrinkles from their face and as a result, there are usually several different Botox treatments that are possible to use. Most Botox treatments for the face will last approximately 4 months to as long as 12 months. The average length is typically around 6 months however, with a repeated treatment being necessary at that point.

For a Botox treatment for the lips, you can usually look to an average length of 2 years to approximately 4 years. This is a very long time and is the longest lasting procedure of all Botox treatments. However, it is also necessary to understand that in doing a lip Botox treatment you are not so much reducing wrinkles as you are adding more "filler" to the lips so they are fuller.

For an underarm Botox treatment, you are looking at an average length of time from 2 months to approximately 5 months. The typical time frame is somewhere in the ballpark of 3-4 months though before a repeated treatment is necessary. It is important to note that underarm Botox treatments are more expensive than facial treatments, as well as not lasting as long. Because of this, most people will not generally repeat the procedure because overall they are not very cost effective.

Another popular procedure is using Botox to treat stuttering. In recent years, this has been an experimental procedure and on average people are seeing results that last anywhere from 2 months to as long as 4 months. The most common length that a Botox procedure will last for stuttering is approximately 3 months however. While the treatment is only moderately effective, it is highly expensive and is a very experimental procedure that is still being heavily researched.

The final popular use of Botox injections is for back pain. The average length of time that a Botox treatment is effective for back pain ranges from 3 months to 6 months. However, most patients are only seeing closer to the 3-month time frame for effective relief. As with treating stuttering, back pain is another highly experimental treatment option that Botox is being used for and as the research continues it is possible that the effective length of time can increase to make the procedure both more effective as well as more likely to reduce the expense and increase the success rate that patients are able to enjoy.
