Frequency of Whitening

I am using carbamide gel (21%) to whiten my teeth.

At this time I use it for 5 nights every three - four months.

Could I use it once a week for a few hours and get the same results?
My goal is to have teeth that are always white instead of waiting a few
months until they dull.

Thanks!

Be advised, that at this time, I think that might work, at this time.

May be even less frequently than that depending on diet / smoking / oral
hygiene.

This is overuse, IMO. This is a very concentrated gel. If it's been
sitting around a while though, it's extremely unlikely you still have
21% carbamyl peroxide, esp. if it isn't refrigerated.
Your teeth shouldn't be relapsing in color so fast. It's likely you
just have extrinsic stain which should be polished off, not bleached.
