We explore how to maximize the longevity of neurotoxin treatments by examining both controllable and uncontrollable factors that affect results. Dr. Roy Kim, a board-certified plastic surgeon with 25+ years of experience, provides expert insights applicable across all botulinum toxin brands.

• Finding a skilled, experienced injector who understands facial anatomy is crucial for proper dosing and natural-looking results
• Zinc supplements may potentially extend treatment effects when taken before injections (with provider approval)
• Strategic placement of extra units in highly expressive areas can target longevity where needed
• Different neurotoxin brands have distinct chemical structures that may affect individual results
• Your metabolism, muscle activity, and exercise intensity can all impact how quickly treatments fade
• Product freshness and proper storage significantly affect potency
