Repeat botox now? Should I do it now before it wears off entirely or wait? What would provide the best result?

Asked By:Smulv97 in Midlothian, VA

I am 57 yrs old and have frown lines/creases between my eyebrows (an inherited trait from my mom) to the extent that my relaxed expression appears unhappy. I had my first botox injections (3), 12units, 6 weeks ago and its already wearing off. My daughter's wedding is 3 mos away and I want to repeat the treatment but it's costly. Should I do it now before it wears off entirely or wait until closer to the wedding? What would provide the best result? I've also read about other injectables similar to botox.
