I'm in my early twenties and already have some wrinkles that are visible at rest. They bother me because I'm so young and feel I shouldn't already have lines. I have just gotten my second treatment of Botox a year after the first treatment. I'm hoping getting Botox about once a year will help prevent how quickly the lines develop. Am I wasting money doing it infrequently? Should I may as well not do it at all? I'm tossing up whether to not bother at all or to commit and get it done regularly.
Answer: Botox I would suggest doing your Botox every 4 months if your goal is to prevent wrinkles. It is still worth it if you only do it once a year. It will help.

Answer: Botox Maintenance Thank you very much for your question. Yes, Botox injections can halt the development of fine lines and wrinkles. By temporarily weakening targeted muscles, the tissues will relax, smoothing lines and preventing deeper, dynamic wrinkles (caused by repetitive expressions) from forming. On average, the results from Botox will last from three to four months, at which time a repeat session is recommended. Yearly Botox injections will help in the prevention of wrinkles, although not as effectively as a maintenance treatment every three to four months.

Answer: Botox Once Per Year Botox is a great way to keep wrinkles from becoming permanently etched in the skin and it's best to get repeat treatments every 3-4 months. At best, I recommend coming twice per year for treatment but yearly treatments will certainly be better than never getting Botox. I wouldn't consider it a waste but would recommend at least twice per year if possible. Thanks.

Answer: Botox once a year Volare,Thanks for your question. A recent article showed where getting Botox on a regular basis early in adulthood helps to prevent worsening wrinkles as you age. Therefore, yes, get Botox when you need it. If you are getting it only once a year because that is when your wrinkles re-appear then that is what you need. Better would be to get it before you need it, like maybe every 8-9 months if that is indicated. Wish you well with staying smooth.Dr. ODell

Answer: Botox to prevent wrinkles Thank you for sharing your question. Botox is great for preventing wrinkles. Although best results are achieved with regular injections, the formation of wrinkles can be regarded with less frequent use. I hope this helps you. Good luck,

Answer: Frequency of Botox Injections Thank you for asking about Botox injections. Generally speaking Botox is recommended every 3 to 4 months. I do have a group of patients who have Botox placed annually and have seen slower progression of the muscle development that will hence enhance the lines of the fore head. Thank you for your question.Please make sure that you were consulting with a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
