Thank you for your question.

Anti-wrinkle treatment can last between 2-6 months. However this depends on the muscle bulk, dosage used, amount of exercise taken, amount of water consumed, patients gender and how often you have had treatment in the past.

In very active men, muscle activity can start to reappear as soon as 4 weeks after injection. In less active women, it can take upto 10 weeks for muscle activity to start to reappear. Further treatment must wait ~3months after the original injection.
