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?

Answer: How Long Should I wait Between Botox Treatments?
Hi WiGuy. The choice about when to return to your next Botox injection is a personal one and there is no simple answer.
We have patients that come back religiously every three months because these patients do not want any lines to appear before having the treatment again. Others will wait until they start to see lines creep back before they come in and others still just have the injections around their important events. Let how you feel about your appearance guide your decision.

Answer: The timing of botulinum toxin injections.
In my experience it has lasted 3-5 months so I typically have most patients schedule a follow up injection at 4 months. In some instances my patients have reported longer results with Dysport so that I have injected them at 5 months. However, variations in the longevity of the results do vary and treatments are adjusted appropriately for the individual.
