How often do I need to repeat my injections?
How often you repeat injections depends on the type of injection and how your body breaks down the product.
In general, Botox® should be repeated at a minimum of twice a year and ideally every 4 months. Remember that the goal of botulinum toxin is to suppress the action of those muscles which cause undesirable wrinkles. One treatment will work but you will need regular injections to maintain the effect long term. We can adjust the dose and plan your next visit during each appointment.
Fillers tend to last between 6 and 12 months in the lips and between 12 and 18 months in deeper areas (e.g. cheekbones). It is easier to maintain the desired effect if we re-inject before the product is totally absorbed by your system. If not, we start back at the beginning each time!
