How often should you get Botox?

Let's get one thing straight: Botox isn’t a one-and-done treatment. 

Neurotoxin treatments (we'll refer to this as Botox since it's the name most folks are familiar with) really do work beautifully, but like most good things in life, maintenance matters!

One of the most common questions we get is: "How often should I come back for Botox?" The short answer? It depends. The slightly longer answer? We’re about to talk you through everything you need to know.

How often most people get Botox

On average, most of our clients come in every 3 to 4 months. 

That’s about how long Botox typically lasts before your muscles begin to regain movement and dynamic wrinkles start to resurface. To keep a consistently smooth look, rebooking on that schedule is ideal.

Quick story! One of our clients jokes that Botox is her “seasonal self-care appointment,” like switching out her closet or getting her highlights refreshed. It’s part of her rhythm now, and keeping a regular schedule means she never has to play catch-up.

In fact, many of our clients rebook their next appointment before they even leave their current one. Not only does it help secure the best time slot, it also helps maintain results without interruption. That said, we’re always flexible. 

Life happens, and we’ll work with your schedule if you need to shift things around.

How your age and lifestyle affect your Botox schedule

There’s no one-size-fits-all Botox timeline. Your age, metabolism, and lifestyle all play a role in how often you may need to return.

Older clients may need to come in a little more often. Natural collagen loss and deeper lines can require more frequent maintenance to maintain optimal results.

Younger clients, especially those who are super active, tend to metabolize Botox faster. If you’re working out daily or hitting hot yoga multiple times a week, you might notice your results fade a bit sooner.

The goal is to listen to your body (and your face). Over time, you’ll get to know what schedule works best for you.

The role of skincare and facial treatments

We can’t stress this enough: your results are only as good as the skincare habits you keep between treatments. Seriously! Sooo many folks forget this part.

Good skincare helps extend the life of your Botox. A consistent routine, medical-grade products, and professional treatments like facials or HydraFacials all work together to protect your skin and maximize your results.

Here’s how to boost your Botox between appointments:

• Stick to your skincare regimen daily
• Protect your skin with SPF (so many folks forget this!)
• Stay hydrated and nourished from the inside out
• Book regular facials to keep your skin balanced and refreshed

Think of Botox as just one piece of your overall skin wellness plan.

Signs it might be time for a touch-up

So, how do you know when it’s time to book your next session? A few common signs include:

• You start to see more movement in the treated areas
• Lines between your brows, on your forehead, or around your eyes are becoming more pronounced again
• You frown or raise your eyebrows and the lines linger longer than you’d like
• You’re simply feeling ready for a little refresh

Botox doesn’t stop working suddenly—it fades gradually. If you're noticing subtle shifts in your results, that’s your cue to reach out and schedule a quick touch-up.

Keep your results smooth, refreshed, and consistent

The best Botox results come from consistency. Whether you’re looking for that subtle softening or you prefer a smoother, more dramatic result, finding the right schedule makes all the difference.
