What are the risks of repeated Botox application?

Are there any risks if I keep re-applying Botox? I heard that after discontinuation of long-term application, the face gets a lot older.

The risk is that the muscles become atrophic and thinner than the skin resembles parchment and has a lot of small wrinkles. So it's good to make a break of three months between the two giving Botox.

There are no risks in re-applying Botox even if you decide not to continue the treatments.In this case the wrinkles reappear as initially before treatment, thy do not worsen because of Botox. But you may very well have this impression as you are used to the younger, more rested and luminous image resulting from the treatment in comparison with the non-treated face.

Antibodies that weakens the effect is expected after too many injections, that's why we perform patients management plan individually and usually it includes other anti-aging aesthetic procedures to rejuvenate the skin and decrease the frequency of BTX injections need.

Not true. The face treated with Botox has no or few wrinkles, so it appears younger. When the effect of the treatment fades away, the wrinkles reappear because the skin of the face gets it's normal aspect according to the biological age. Because the wrinkles appear in the aging process gradually, slowly, in years, the patient gets used with this aspect. After the Botox effect disappears, the wrinkles reappear in a few months, so the sensation is that a fast aging occurs.
