Searching for ways to make Botox last longer? We have the secret. Botox is a wonderful treatment for relaxing overactive muscles. It can erase dynamic wrinkles from many areas of the face and relax muscles in other areas of the body as well. But is there a way to make your Botox last longer?

Be Gentle

To make sure your results last as long as possible, you need to be very gentle with your face for the first few days after Botulinum toxin treatment. Avoid exfoliating or using cosmetic treatments that can irritate the skin. If you are applying and removing makeup or other skincare products, be very gentle.

Sleep On Your Back

Sleeping on your side or stomach can apply too much pressure to the treated areas. This can affect the longevity of your results significantly. Sleeping on your back will help you enjoy longer lasting results.

Exercise the Treated Muscles

Exercising the treated muscles will help the results last longer. Every four hours after your treatment, perform three sets of 40 repetitions of muscle movements, with breaks in between each set. Do this on the day of and the day after treatment. This will help your results last longer but also help you see results faster.

Avoid UV Exposure

Limiting your exposure to UV rays can extend the life of your Botox treatment. Don’t sunbathe or visit tanning beds. Wear sunscreen daily and wear protective clothing when you are in the sun.

Avoid Exercising Right After Botox Treatment

Don’t exercise or engage in strenuous activity for the first 24 hours after treatment. Exercise increases your metabolism which can cause your Botox to wear off sooner. After the first 24 hours, it’s fine to resume your normal activities.
