At Oregon Man Clinics, BOTOX treatments are specifically tailored for men. Led by Russ Henderson, FNP-BC, a veteran and men’s health advocate, our providers understand the nuances of male aging and facial structure.
If you’re a man considering BOTOX, knowing how it works differently between sexes can help set realistic expectations. Here’s what you should know.
How Long Does BOTOX Last in Men vs. Women?
Everyone’s experience with BOTOX is unique. On average, results last 3 to 4 months. The duration may be a bit shorter for men compared to women, though (more like 2.5 to 3.5 months in some cases).
What Affects How Long BOTOX Lasts?
Several factors impact how long BOTOX stays effective:
- Muscle strength: Men typically have stronger facial muscles, which may break down BOTOX more quickly. This is especially likely in places with repeated expression, such as the forehead.
- Dosage: Men often require higher doses to achieve the same level of smoothing due to greater muscle mass and increased physical activity.
- Metabolism: Faster metabolic rates in men can also shorten the lifespan of the treatment by accelerating how quickly the body processes the product.
- Treatment area: Certain areas, such as the glabella (between the eyebrows), may wear off more quickly due to frequent movement and higher muscle engagement.
How Can You Make BOTOX Last Longer?
It’s important to note that consistency improves BOTOX longevity. Regular appointments can help train the muscles to respond better, meaning you can wait longer between sessions.
Men can also enhance outcomes by staying hydrated, limiting sun exposure, avoiding smoking, and following post-appointment care instructions. These healthy habits support optimal skin condition and encourage BOTOX to work more effectively.
