The timetable between injectables usually depends upon how the patient responds. Each of our bodies responds differently to different procedures. Injectables must be repeated every year or even more often. For that reason, I suggest you visit your board certified facial plastic surgeon to express your desire to receive another round of treatment and to establish an appropriate timeline that fits your recovery and your desires aesthetic outcome.
