My botox (forehead, 11's, crows feet) wears off on the crows feet usually around 2 months. Is it alright to have botox injected again, just as a touch up for the crow's feet after only 2 months? Also, once, all areas only lasted 2 months when it usually lasts around 3-4. (I moved to a developing country and went to a recommended board certified doctor, but I think it was diluted). So, I wanted the botox sooner after 2 months, but she made we wait until 3 months from her original injection.
Answer: Botox and Results Botox takes 10-14 days to see the final outcome. If you are unhappy after that time you need to get a touch up treatment by an expert. Botox usually lasts 3-4 months and can be touched up when the movement begins again (1-2 months sure!). Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: How often can Botox be injected? Dear Anna,This is really a great question. The frequency in which Botox is injected is far less important than the quantity. There is no formula that says that an individual cannot have an injection 2 months after her previous one. Commonly Botox will last for 3-4 months, but if it lasts for a shorter period of time this is often in relation to inadequate Botox dosage. Unfortunately, a poor Botox response can also be in relation to in appropriate suspension or in older hydrated Botox that is lost some effect. Hopefully this is helpful to you.Be healthy and be well, James M. Ridgway, MD, FACS

Answer: May I Have Botox Every Two Months if Needed? #Botoxseattle We treat a lot of patients with Botox!The majority of our patients note that their Botox effects last about three months.However, sometimes Botox effects only last 2 months or so. Once the effects of Botox have worn off, it is definitely fine to have a repeat injection.

Answer: How frequently can Botox be injected? Thank you for sharing your question. Botox can be injected as often as you need it. Doctors dilute Botox to varying degrees. The amount of dilution does not matter. What counts is how many units of Botox is being injected. I hope this helps.Good luck,

Answer: Botox results Hi there, your results will vary from time to time, injector to injector. You may also have developed a tolerance to Botox, and may want to try Dysport. Botox and Dysport both come in powder form from the Manufacturer, therefore it will always be diluted-it has to be. Typically providers add from 1mL-2.5mL to it. You can be injected sooner than 3 months as long as there is movement in the muscle. I hope this helps you, good luck!#botox #timelimit #crowsfeet #dilution
