Botox FAQs
How long does Botox last?
Most Botox treatments last between 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle strength.
Can I get Botox too often?
Yes — too frequent injections may build resistance or cause over-relaxation. Stick to your injector’s guidance, usually every 3–4 months.
How will I know when it’s time for a touch-up?
When you start to see wrinkles reappearing or your results feel less lifted, it’s a good sign to rebook.
Does Botox last longer over time?
Yes — with consistent treatments, many patients notice their results last longer as muscles become trained.
Should I wait until Botox wears off completely before re-treating?
No. Preventative touch-ups can help maintain smoother results without allowing full wrinkle return.
How do I know which wrinkle relaxer is right for me?
It depends on your movement patterns, desired longevity, and budget. Nurse Diane will map your face and help you choose between Daxxify, Xeomin, or another option like Botox or Dysport.
