F.A.Q

In 2002, BOTOX® Cosmetic was FDA approved. It was the first treatment of its kind, and today it is the only product FDA approved to temporarily improve the appearance of 3 treatment areas in adults—moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet lines, and forehead lines.

Getting the right dosing is essential for achieving the aesthetic results you desire. Let’s talk about the FDA-approved dosing of 64 Units. With The Look of 3SM, we’ve seen through extensive testing that BOTOX® Cosmetic dosing can be effective—20 Units for your frown lines, 24 Units for crow's feet, and 20 Units for forehead lines. However, factors like age, skin laxity, ethnicity, sex, and lifestyle will influence the ideal dose for you. We invite you to book a FREE consultation with our provider for a thorough evaluation tailored to your needs.

The frequency of BOTOX® treatments can vary depending on individual goals and needs, but generally, it's recommended to get treatments every 3 to 4 months. Here are a few reasons why regular treatments are suggested: 

1. **Results Duration**: BOTOX typically lasts around 3 to 4 months, as the effects gradually wear off over time. Regular treatments help maintain the desired look. 

2. **Preventive Effects**: For many people, regular BOTOX treatments can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them, leading to a smoother appearance over time. 

3. **Customized Treatment**: Everyone’s skin and muscle response to BOTOX is different. Regular visits allow your provider to adjust the dosage and treatment plan based on how your skin reacts and your evolving aesthetic goals. 

4. **Cumulative Benefits**: Some studies suggest that consistent use of BOTOX can lead to improved results over time, as it may help to retrain facial muscles. Please consult with our provider to determine the best schedule based on your specific needs and skin condition.
