How long does hair botox last?
Typically four to six months. After that, scalp sweating gradually returns to its earlier pattern and the treatment can be repeated. Note this is the medical treatment — botulinum micro-injections into the scalp — and not the salon conditioning mask sold under the same name, which lasts a handful of washes and works by an entirely different mechanism.
The figure
Typically four to six months. After that, scalp sweating gradually returns to its earlier pattern, and the treatment can be repeated.
Note the word gradually — this is not a switch that flips. The effect tapers, which means the timing of a repeat is a judgement rather than a deadline.
What is actually wearing off
The treatment calms scalp sweating and oiliness. When people say it has "worn off", what they are describing is sweating and oiliness returning to their baseline — not hair changing.
That matters because it sets what to watch for. If you were expecting a change in hair texture or thickness to fade, you were measuring the wrong thing.
It is not a regrowth treatment
By itself it does not regrow hair. It supports scalp health by calming sweating and oiliness, and where regrowth is the goal a doctor may pair it with other therapies after a scalp review.
So the duration question for regrowth is a different question with a different answer, on a different timeline entirely.
Repeating it
It can be repeated when the effect tapers. Worth discussing at your review: whether the interval should be the same next time, and whether the areas treated should change based on how you responded.
Do not confuse this with the salon treatment
The salon "hair botox" is a topical deep-conditioning mask containing no botulinum toxin. It works on the hair shaft rather than the scalp, and it does not last comparably — it is a conditioning effect that washes out rather than a months-long change in how the scalp behaves.
If you are comparing durations you have read online, check which of the two treatments each one is describing. Most of what is published under this name is about the mask.
What determines your own interval
How much you sweat, the areas treated and the dose used. If four months felt short or six felt long, say so at the next appointment — that is the input that tunes it.
