How Often Can You Get Botox?

Are wrinkles and fine lines a concern of yours? Do you just wish there was a way to smooth them away quickly without painful surgery or downtime? If so, botox is a treatment you should take a look at. The treatment is safe, quick, and can smooth away wrinkles in a number of areas. If you are ready to be rid of unwanted wrinkles, here at Indian Lake Medical in Hendersonville, TN, we can help! 

How Often Can You Get Botox?

The amount of time you should wait in between sessions will depend on how you respond to your first treatment, the age of your skin, and other variables. Most of the time though, you can have this treatment once every 3 to 4 months. In certain cases, however, you may need to wait a bit longer which is why it is crucial to listen to the expert opinions of our staff regarding how long you should wait to get the best results.

Treatable Areas

There are a number of areas that can be treated successfully. However, if you have another area of concern that is not mentioned, let our staff know!

The Forehead

One of the most popular areas for this injectable treatment is the forehead area. This area is prone to lines and wrinkles that can, over time, become deeper and more pronounced. This treatment can smooth away those wrinkles and lines quickly and leave you looking much younger in appearance! 

The Corners of the Eyes

The lines and wrinkles that often form around the outside corners of the eyes are sometimes called “crow’s feet” and they can add years to one’s face. This treatment can smooth away those lines and give a youthful glow back to your eyes in just 1 treatment session.  

The Corners of the Mouth

These lines and wrinkles are sometimes called “marionette lines” and are a concern that a lot of people have, as they can make a person appear older. This treatment can take care of those lines and wrinkles that form on the outer corners of the mouth without changing the shape or look of the lips and surrounding areas.  

Around the Nose

The “folds” or lines that form around the outside of the nose are another area of concern for a lot of people. These “folds” or lines can make a person appear bloated and of course, make them appear older. This treatment can restore lost volume into those folds, smoothing away those lines quickly.  

Above the Mouth

The smaller vertical lines that can appear above the upper lip can be stubborn and only get more noticeable with time. This treatment will take care of those lines above the mouth in no time at all. Smoothing away the lines in this area will also make you look much more youthful. 

Under the Eyes

Lines and wrinkles under the eyes can make a person appear tired and aged. This treatment will smooth away those lines and wrinkles, leaving you with smoother under-eyes that appear much more youthful all without any pain!  

Between the Brows

“Frown Lines” or the wrinkles and lines that form between the brows are another common area of treatment. The lines and wrinkles in this area tend to get deeper and more severe over time so addressing them early with this treatment will prevent them from deepening.  

Above the Eyes

The area above the eyes can develop wrinkles and also become more “saggy” as the skin loses elasticity over time. This treatment can help lift the brows up and even aid with the “saggy skin” that can develop over the top of the eyes.  

Other Areas

If you happen to have other areas where wrinkles and lines are a concern, let our staff know! They will be able to evaluate the area or areas and see if this treatment can also be helpful there! Our staff will be there to answer any questions you have and ensure that you get the results that you want!
