Can I mix/combine 2 different Botox within this 1 month time frame?

Question

I had botox a month ago, but my friend has bought my botox with a different doctor...so can I mix 2 different botox within this 1 month time frame?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

For a given area, for example the glabellar frown lines, if you have already achieved full correction of the wrinkles with a treatment of Botox, then it's prudent to wait until the effect has begun to fade before re-treating the area.  If you are looking to address a different area, then this can be done at any time and not interfere with your prior Botox treatment.

Brian S. Biesman, MD · Answer

It is acceptable to have more than 1 treatment in a 1 month time frame but I would wait until the effects of the first injection are fully apparent.  I would also recommend using a single injector as opposed to have been multiple different people providing your injections.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

This is OK. However, it would be best to find one highly trained physician injector to perform your injections in the future. It should not be a problem to occasionally have a second treatment or "touch up" but ideally you should only require treatment every 3-4 months in the future. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. Ensure you are working with an experienced injector. It is possible to acquire 2 Botox treatments at least 2 weeks apart. Best,

If you are treating the same area and have full correction I would not do more Botox in that area. If you need a little more in that area be sure you have waited at least 10 days since it can take that long to activate. Be sure the new physician knows you have recently been treated.If you are treating another area it is Ok to treat close to another treatment .You can also use the other forms of Botox such as Dysport or Xeonin.
