How Long Do Anti-Wrinkle Injections Last?
Most people see three to four months from a treatment. Several individual factors move that number up or down.
15 July 2026 · 4 min read
Anti-wrinkle injections typically last 3–4 months, though this varies from person to person based on metabolism, muscle strength, and the area treated.
Why results fade over time
The treatment works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. As the effect gradually wears off, muscle movement — and the lines that come with it — slowly returns, which is why most clients book repeat treatment roughly every 3–4 months. Our aftercare guide covers how to look after results in the days right after treatment.
What affects how long it lasts
- Metabolism — a faster metabolism can mean results fade sooner
- Muscle strength — stronger facial muscles may need more frequent treatment
- Treatment area — some areas tend to hold results longer than others
- Consistency — some clients find results last slightly longer with regular, consistent treatment over time
Does it last longer the more you have it?
Some people report this, though it isn't guaranteed and varies by individual — worth discussing at your consultation rather than assuming.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Should I book my next appointment before it fully wears off?
Many clients book a few weeks before they expect results to fade, to keep results consistent — entirely optional.
Does it wear off suddenly or gradually?
Gradually, over several weeks, not overnight.
