Should I Wait Until Botox is Completely Gone?

Great question. On average, Botox will last around 3 months. If you were at the 1 or 2 month mark, I would say to wait. At the 3 month mark, your Botox will either be worn off or getting close to that point. It could not hurt to get a second treatment at this time. Because you may still have some of the muscles in the area partially paralyzed, you may not need as much Botox to get the desired effect. I would recommend going to the same physician who performed your previous treatment, as he/she knows how many units of Botox were injected and would best be able to estimate how much you would need. Thanks and I hope this helps!

Treating before your muscles get back to baseline is preferred, and this will help keep you from strengthening those muscles that contribute to the lines and/or wrinkles.
