Can I correct the eye dripping issue with Botox? Can I touch up Botox after one month initial injection if I think the first one is not enough? Can I touch up with different brand and different Doctor ? eg. At cruise ship?

Answer: Botox additional treatment to the same area can be done two weeks after the sane The effect of Botox peaks at two weeks. I usually tell my patients who have never had Botox that they should see me two weeks later so I can evaluate if their muscles are so strong that they need more Botox. It is more prudent to inject what is deemed an appropriate number of units for that muscle mass rather than putting in too much which would cost more in many practices as the charge often is per unit not area (depending on the practice). It is not very common but if additional units are needed then more Botox is placed at the two or four week point for an additional cost for those number of units. Then the next full treament at about four months, I inject the sum of the units used the first visit and the follow-up appointment and that usually suffices.I prefer patients to see board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons who are in their local area for cosmetic treatment so they can return for followup if needed for concerns that develop, and that would not be possible if you have it done on a cruise ship.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Botox takes full effect at 10-14 days. Thank you for your question. Botox takes full effect at 10-14 days. Touch up is perfectly fine after this time. Although it is best to follow up with the same injector as they have a record of what was done, it is acceptable to see someone else. I hope this help.
