Botox can help to smooth the wrinkles and fine lines in your face. This can make you look younger and have great looking skin. However, the botox that was injected into your face can wear off. If it is not retouched, these wrinkles and fine lines can reemerge. This may leave you wondering when you should have a botox retouch. Here are a few of the signs that it is time to have one done.

You Aren’t Happy With the Results

It takes 10 to 14 days after an injection for the full results of the botox to become apparent. However, the botox may not settle into the places you were hoping to treat as well as you would like. If you aren’t happy with the results after an injection, and have waited 10 to 14 days for the botox to settle, you can have a retouch done quickly to fill in the areas that may need more word done to them.

Your Wrinkles are Re-Emerging

One of the signs that it is time for a botox retouch is that your wrinkles begin to reemerge. It may take 10 to 14 days after the initial treatment for them to go away. However, once this happens, the botox should last for three to four months. Once the wrinkles start to come back, it is time to re-inject.

You Have More Muscle Movement

Botox can give you a frozen face sort of effect. You may feel some stiffness when you make facial expressions, due to the fillers in place. As the fillers wear off, you may feel less of this stiffness. This is another sign that it may be time to have a botox retouch done.

After seeing the improvements that Botox can make to the appearance, patients frequently ask how often they can receive Botox injections. Here is a bit of information to make that determination easier:

How long does Botox last?

Botox is not a permanent way to alter the appearance of wrinkles and lines. The blockage of the nerve signals is only temporary. Over time, the Botox treatment wears off, and the signal disruption is no longer in place.

The results from a Botox injection usually last up to 4 months. Before you receive your first injection, your physician will discuss the potential results of the treatment. In addition, he or she may start with a lower dosage of the medication to determine how your body will respond to the treatment. If lower dosages are applied, the Botox treatment will wear off more quickly.

If you start to see wrinkles and lines resurfacing, their appearance is a good indication that it’s about time to schedule another appointment for treatment.

Muscle Training

Patients who regularly receive Botox may notice that with consistent treatments, their facial muscles become trained by the therapy. Due to this tissue acclimation, you may be able to extend the periods between your injections. Still, due to the dramatically positive results that can be achieved with Botox, you may be anxious to return for the next scheduled treatment.

Although Botox is safe, abuse of the treatment is not recommended, it is suggested that a hiatus of three to four months between treatments.
