The question is, how often do you need Botox? You don't need it at all. We're doing this for cosmetic purposes. But if you want to get the best results out of your Botox, I recommend you do it every three to four months. Typically about every four months for a year and a half. And what happens then is we've retrained the muscles back to a more youthful stage. It actually does anti age. If we stay on track, we do the Botox right about when it's wearing off and keep the patient in that we can state for about a year and a half. The muscles shrink, we've retrained them then we don't need as many units in the future. We don't need as frequent of a treatments in the future. So I'd say about every four months is ideal for most of the Botox patients.
