Can I get touch up masseter muscle Botox for TMJ after 2 months?

August 16, 2023
Asked By:Joe 2023 in Santa Clara, California

I have gotten masseter muscle botox twice 50 units a side for 100 total. Can I get a touch up at the 2 month point or do I need to wait the full 3 months to add any additional botox? TMJ symptoms return around the 2 months for me. Other than that it works great.
