Being Consistent with Botox Prevents Wrinkles Even with Less Frequent Dosing

According to recent research from Oregon Health Sciences University, consistent treatments with Botox or Dysport have a wrinkle preventing—or prophylactic—effect.  Patients who begin receiving injections every 3-4 months while in their 30's, 40's, and 50's are able to prevent wrinkles from forming and eliminate many existing wrinkles.

Moreover, after 2 years of treatment at 3-4-month intervals, patients can potentially cut the frequency of their Botox or Dysport treatments by half.  After patients receive Botox or Dysport every 3-4 months for 2 years, the frequency of the the injections can be changed to every 6 months and still achieve good results.

So what should the average person think about this study?

  • Younger patients, even in their 30s, should consider starting Botox or Dysport to prevent hyperdynamic wrinkles.
  • Patients should try to be consistent (every 3-4 months) for the first 2 years when using either Botox or Dysport.  While such frequent treatment may deter some patients from starting a regimen, eventually they should be able to achieve good results with broader treatment schedules and ultimately at a lower overall treatment cost.
