Botox is the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure done each year. I administer Botox injections quite frequently at my Atlanta plastic surgery practice. Many patients go for this treatment because it takes only fifteen minutes four times a year for best results. Yet, some patients considering Botox are not ready, or sometimes can’t afford, four treatments a year. However, research shows that four treatments a year is no longer needed for great Botox results.
A new study treated fifty women between the ages of 30 and 50, the recommended age bracket to start Botox, for two years only to find that Botox can reduce wrinkles with half as many visits as previously thought. The study found that if patients receive Botox every four months for two years, treatment can be reduced to every six months. This is a long way from a consistent Botox treatment of every three months indefinitely.
It’s true that patients that stick to treatment every three months will most likely have better results, but the study showed that treatment every four to six months produced comparable wrinkle reducing results. With these new findings there are only more reasons for patients to undergo Botox now. Not only is it even quicker and easier to keep up results, it is now more affordable. Patients who were once on the fence about Botox are more likely to reconsider due to these new findings.
Will you consider Botox now that treatments don’t have to be as often?
