How Often Can We Use Botox?

Botox usually lasts 3 to 6 months. Some people like to wait for the Botox to completely wear off and other people think it is an emergency at the first site of any wrinkles. Repeat injections will not cause any harm or loss of future effect. There is a very small percentage (1:10,000) that can become resistant to Botox, but there are so few people with this effect that the cause and relationship has not been fully studied. If this does happy, however, there are other forms of Botulinum toxin that can be used.

I hope this is helpful.

The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments generally lasts around 3-4 months.  If you have regular treatments the effects may last longer due to the retraining of the muscles treated.  If at any time you cease treatments your muscles return to normal and wrinkles return to how they were previously -  they do not become worse.

You should expect to see results in three to four days, but in as few as two and as many as five days. On average patients return every three to six months for additional treatments. Good luck.

Thank you for your question. If you like the results of Botox, you can continue to use the product for years and years. It lasts several months each time, and some patients notice the duration of action does increase with repeated use.

Botox typically lasts for about 3-4 months. You might see results last longer if you've had many treatments performed before or if the area you have treated isn't moved a lot. On the other hand, it might not last as long if you use the area a lot. Therefore, you can schedule your treatments about every 4 months or so.

Generally, Botox treatments are given every 3-4 months, although some long-term patients will report a difference for significantly longer.  It is uncommon for a patient to find that the effect is diminished over time.  Some of my patients do request additional Botox as time progresses, but this is generally to treat new areas or enhance the effect of previously treated areas.
