How Long Should I Wait After my Intial Botox Treatment to Receive my Second?

January 12, 2011
Asked By:WiGuy in Merrill, WI

I just received my first treatment (which went well:) and know the effects of Botox last about 3 - 4 months. My question is should I wait for the effects to wear off, or at least start to wear off prior to receiving my second treatment, or should I just schedule my next appt. at 3 (or 4) months? Any advantages or disadvantages to either approach?
