Will I Get Better Results From Adding Botox 2 Weeks After Initial Injection?

Hi Catherine.  In some cases, a Botox touchup a couple weeks after injection is an excellent idea.  Especially with first time patients, we like to take a little more conservative approach and injecting a bit too little is better than injecting too much.

With these first time patients, we always have them come back after 2 weeks to gauge the results and at that time if more is needed, we add it then.  This gives us a more complete picture of how they respond to their injections and hopefully helps us do a better job.  There is no issue with antibodies!

If at that point more Botox is needed to achieve the clinical result you wish, more can be added.  I would not add more Botox before those two weeks as the end result may not be seen and you may get an over-correction.

The risk of developing antibodies to small doses of Botox required for cosmetic procedures are very small to begin with and will not be changed much by injecting a few more units two weeks after the initial injection.
