How to Make Your Tox Last
Cosmetic injectables like Botox and Jeuveau are a great way to smooth fine lines and refresh your appearance—but how long they last depends on more than just the product. From how you care for your skin to your lifestyle habits, there are a few ways you can help extend your results between appointments.
If you’re wondering how to make the most of your treatment, here’s what we recommend at Mindful Med Spa.
Start With the Right Provider
Longevity starts with proper placement. Injectables need to be administered precisely and with a deep understanding of facial anatomy to work effectively and evenly. At Mindful Med Spa, your treatment is performed by Dr. Maria Jensen, a board-certified Anesthesiologist with advanced training in cosmetic medicine. We take time to understand your goals and deliver tailored results that last.
Follow Proper Aftercare Instructions
The first 24 hours after treatment are key to how your injectables settle in:
Avoid lying flat for 4–6 hours
Don’t rub or massage the area
Skip intense workouts and alcohol for the day
Stay cool—heat (like saunas or hot yoga) can affect how the product distributes
These small steps can help prevent product migration and support optimal results.
Stay on a Consistent Schedule
Botox and Jeuveau typically last about 3–4 months, depending on the area treated and how your body metabolizes the product. Getting your next appointment scheduled before full movement returns can help maintain softer, longer-lasting results over time. Regular maintenance also means fewer deep lines forming in the long run.
Protect Your Skin From the Sun
Sun exposure breaks down collagen and accelerates skin aging. It can also interfere with how long your injectables last. Wear SPF daily—especially on areas where you’ve had tox injections like your forehead or crow’s feet—to protect your skin and your results.
Reduce Stress and Rethink Your Routine
Stress causes us to unconsciously tense our facial muscles, particularly around the brows and forehead. Over time, this can work against your injectable results. Techniques like facial massage, jaw relaxation, and mindfulness exercises can help reduce repeated tension and support longer-lasting effects.
Also, be mindful of skincare. Using products with peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants can help maintain your skin’s elasticity and overall appearance—so you get more from your injectables.
Get the Most From Your Investment
Injectables are an investment in your confidence. With expert placement, thoughtful aftercare, and a consistent skincare routine, you can extend your results and enjoy a smoother, refreshed appearance longer.
