One of the most popular, nonsurgical cosmetic treatments available, Botox smooths moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds. Our Botox clinic in St. Petersburg, Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness, ranks in the top 1% of Botox injectors, so it’s safe to say we love how Botox refreshes our patients’ appearance and provides a more youthful glow.
Unfortunately, results of Botox aren’t permanent. If you’re interested in receiving this injectable, it’s important to consider how often you’ll want touch-up treatments.
Here, we discuss how often we recommend getting Botox injections to help maintain a smooth, more youthful appearance long-term.
How Does Botox Work?
To understand how often you should receive touch-up treatments, first we need to explore how Botox works.
Botox works by preventing the muscle contractions that occur with key facial expressions. By preventing the skin from creasing whenever you smile, laugh, raise your eyebrows, or purse your lips, this injectable keeps the skin smooth and wrinkle-free.
You can opt for Botox treatments to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles, or to prevent future wrinkles. In either case, Botox will help offset the effects of aging and keep your skin looking young.
Results from Botox vary depending on the patient, treatment area, and number of injections. How long those results last also varies as well, but typically, you can expect Botox results to last 3 to 4 months.
How Often You Should Receive Botox Injections
Many patients return for follow-up sessions every 3 to 4 months to prevent movement in the face between Botox treatments. However, other patients are happy to return less frequently—around every 6 months or so—for touch-ups.
Maintaining a consistent schedule for your injections helps prevent signs of aging. By continuing to get injections regularly, Botox helps prevent the creation of new wrinkles.
When you come in for a consultation with one of our expert providers, we help determine the right frequency of Botox treatments for you, so you can reach your cosmetic goals and enjoy them for months or even years to come.
Stay Refreshed With Botox
With maintenance treatments of Botox every several months, you can keep your skin rejuvenated and your wrinkles relaxed, and even enjoy long-term wrinkle prevention.

We can also pair Botox with other skin treatments like fillers (including Juvederm or Sculptra), PDO threads, microneedling, and chemical peels for additional skin refreshment.
