What is botox?

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a muscle relaxant that temporarily prevents the treated muscle from contracting. Because the muscle temporarily cannot contract, a wrinkle can no longer be formed in the skin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother and tighter. Wrinkles can thus be both reduced and prevented.

How long does botox work?

On average, botox remains effective for 3 to 4 months. At JECT Clinics we offer besides the regular botox Azzalure also Alluzience, which can be longer effective up to 6 months. After that time, the treated muscles will gradually start to work more and more. When the botox wears off, the treatment can be repeated. Repetition of treatment is important to maintain the best possible results.

The effect duration of botox varies greatly from person to person

How long botox works is highly person-dependent. The following factors can affect the duration of botox:

  • A high metabolism
  • Many sports
  • Smoking
  • Extensive exposure to sunlight
