How to make it last longer

Here are some of the ways you can extend the Botox. The first and most important thing to do is to protect yourself from the sun. The ultraviolet (UV) rays are very damaging if they come in contact with the skin on the part of the body that has undergone Botox. The Sunrays decreases the lifespan of the neurotoxin so you will have to cover the part which had the Botox treatment. Avoiding direct sunlight can help in making the Botox last longer.

After Botox, one should engage in routine exercise. The movement of the muscles in the treatment area can prolong the Botox. Vigorous or Intense workouts are ok to carry out but are not recommended. The movement of the muscles is important but remember to avoid yourself from constant rubbing on the area to prevent side effects. Staying hydrated all the time is also important. Constantly drink plenty of liquids and use moisturizers on the part of the skin which went through Botox, so it never gets dry. These moisturizers keep the inflammation within the body to a minimum. This is a good way to keep the Botox last longer. One should also make the use of antioxidant serum as it protects the skin from environmental damage and sun damage.

Increasing the longevity of Botox can bring no harm to you and the longer the treatment lasts, the better for you. The Botox treatment usually takes four to five months to end but its duration of effect can be prolonged by moisturizing, hydration, regular exercise and protection from the sun.
