How to Make Botox Last Longer

Botox injectables are a significant investment. So, it is no surprise why so many people want to know how to make Botox last longer. If you want to know, you are in luck! There are many things you can do to protect your skin and prolong your results. Read on to learn more about the Botox treatment and how you can enjoy your smooth, youthful appearance longer.

What is Botox?

Botox is made of Botulinum Toxin Type A. This popular injectable temporarily blocks the signal that tells a muscle to contract. When your specialist injects Botox into this muscle, it relaxes, allowing the muscle to lengthen out. In response, the elongated muscle allows the overlying expression line, or groove/crease, to smooth out. This injection significantly reduces visible signs of aging by improving fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, brows, and forehead.

Ways to Prolong Your Botox Results

There are several effortless ways to take care of your skin, prolong your Botox results, and protect your injectable investment. Some of these include:

Committing to a Skincare Routine: After receiving Botox, you should commit to a good, regular skincare routine in the morning and at night. Taking care of your skin and ensuring it is hydrated is one of the best ways to keep it looking youthful, fresh, and healthy after your injectable experience.

Clean Up Your Diet: What you eat directly affects your skin. To continue seeing smooth, silky, flawless skin, you should clean up your diet. Start eating more skin-friendly foods like salmon, green tea, vegetables, and fruits. Also, increase your water intake to enhance your radiant complexion.

Take Zinc: Studies suggest taking a daily zinc supplement increases the effectiveness of Botox. This study found that “92% of subjects supplemented with zinc 50 mg and phytase experienced an average increase in toxin effect duration.” Therefore, consider taking a daily zinc supplement with multi-vitamins to prolong Botox results.

Use Retinol: Retinol is the perfect addition to your skincare products. They quickly bring the skin’s newest cells to the surface, keeping the skin firm and taut.

Avoid Unprotected Sun Exposure: Every skincare professional will tell you the best and easiest way to protect your skin and make Botox results last long is to avoid unprotected sun exposure. Going into the sun causes more frown lines and increases aging. Enjoy your time in the sun and get your Vitamin D but use safe sunscreen and wear a hat to protect your face.
