  2. Injection area: Botox lasts differently depending on whether it’s injected in the forehead, eyebrows, or around the eyes.

  3. Dosage and injection technique: Experienced practitioners can help extend the duration of results.

  4. Post-treatment care: Avoid rubbing the treated area, strenuous exercise for a few days, and follow all post-injection instructions.
