Do you have to keep getting wrinkle-relaxing injections forever?
Disease description:
Because I've developed some wrinkles on my face, I went to the hospital yesterday for wrinkle-relaxing injections. A friend told me that these injections usually need to be continued regularly. Does that mean I have to keep getting them for the rest of my life?

Botox injections for wrinkles generally do not need to be continued indefinitely throughout life; the frequency can be determined based on individual circumstances. This is mainly because the effects of Botox injections are not permanent. Typically, results last around 6 to 8 months after injection. To maintain the wrinkle-reducing effect permanently, repeated injections are necessary once the previously injected Botox has been absorbed by the body, thereby achieving long-term wrinkle reduction.
