How long do I have to wait to be re-injected with filler and Botox/Dysport?

Question

On December 2nd I had 50 units of Dysport injected in between my eyebrows and 1 syringe of Restalyne under my eyes and in nasolabial folds. My dermatologist didn't want to inject more than this because I'm only 25. It's now early April and I feel like it's starting to wear off. In early march I was told that before I got more dysport I had to wait until I had full range of motion in that area and although my eyes are holding up well, my smile lines are looking noticeable again.

Thank you for your question.  Typically after Dysport is injected into the muscle, those muscles are relaxed for up to 12 to 16 weeks or even longer (3-4 months).  To maintain your results, Dysport treatments are needed every 3-4 months, depending on how your body metabolizes the product.

On average, Dysport or Botox typically lasts 3-4 months.  Most patients will return for Botox or Dysport injections when movement begins to return around this time.  At almost 5 months, you should be able to get your Dysport to help maintain your look.Best Wishes,Dr. Aldo Guerra

Thank you for your question!  Generally, Botox/Dysport lasts 3 to 4 months.  Depending on your activity level and how quickly your body metabolizes the product, some patient may require treatment more frequently.  It is not necessary to wait until you have full movement back before proceeding with an additional treatment.  In fact, most patients like to schedule their appointments strategically prior to getting back to baseline, in order to maintain their results.

Generally, it is best to wait at least 2 weeks after injection with fillers or neuromodulators before seeking retreatment.  However, there is no need to wait until full motion is back or the filler has completely dissolved before treatment.  In fact, the opposite is true; we find that earlier treatment leads to longer lasting results with filler.   Retreatment before full movement is restored with botox or dysport is the ideal time (usually 4ish months).  Best of luck.

Hello, usually the botox products (botox, dysport, xeomin) last approximately 3 months. I think it would be reasonable for you to be reinjected at this time. If you can reanimate the way you could prior to your Dysport injections, it should be okay for you to be injected again.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You can visit your injector for a Dysport treatment when you feel you are ready.  Results from this treatment typically last three to four months but it can vary by patient.  You seem to be right in this time frame.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

The specific timeframe for reinjection of fillers and Botox/Dysport can vary based on individual factors and the products used. Generally, fillers may be reinjected every 6-18 month, while Botox/Dysport treatments are typically done every 3-4 months. Consult with your healthcare provider for recommendations based on your specific needs and the products used in your previous treatments.

Botox may last 3-4 months when full dosage is administered. Fillers may last 9-15 months. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Dysport works for 3-4 months.  Time of results vary depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the product.  You should call to schedule an appointment for more injections when you notice your range of motion is returning.  Best of luck with future injections.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Botox typically lasts 3-6 months and most patients return for touch ups at 2-3 months to maintain results. At approximately 5 months post op you can receive more Dysport to maintain your results. I recommend having a follow up with injector for an evaluation and to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!
