How Often Should You Really Get Botox or Fillers?

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it time for another Botox touch-up?” or “How long do fillers actually last?” .. you’re not alone. At Le Jolie Medi Spa in West Hollywood, it's one of the top questions we hear from clients looking to maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance without overdoing it.

Everyone’s skin, facial muscles, and beauty goals are different. But if you’re looking for expert guidance on how often you should get Botox or fillers, here’s what you need to know.

Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference?

Before we get into timing, it helps to understand the basics:

• Botox: This injectable temporarily relaxes specific muscles to reduce expression lines like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows. It’s a go-to for softening wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement.
  
  

• Dermal Fillers: These add volume, sculpt facial features, and smooth deeper folds. We offer leading fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and EzGel PRF: great for lips, cheeks, under-eyes, jawline, and more.

Used together or separately, these injectables can give you a more lifted, youthful look without surgery.

How Often Should You Get Botox?

On average, most clients get Botox every 3 to 4 months. That’s typically when the effects start to wear off, and expression lines begin to return.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Standard maintenance: Every 3–4 months to keep muscles relaxed and prevent deeper lines.
  
  

• Preventative use (often for clients in their 20s or early 30s): Every 4–6 months.
  
  

• Long-term users: May stretch to 4–5 months, as repeated Botox use can train the muscles to contract less over time.
  
  

At Le Jolie, we tailor your Botox treatment plan based on your facial movement, age, and skin goals - so you’re never over-treated.

How Long Do Fillers Last?

Dermal fillers last longer than Botox but vary depending on the product used and where it’s injected.

Here’s what we typically see at Le Jolie:

• Lip filler: 6 to 9 months
  
  

• Cheeks or smile lines: 9 to 12 months
  
  

• Under-eye filler: Up to 12–18 months
  
  

• Jawline or chin sculpting: 12 to 18 months
  
  

Some clients opt for our EzGel PRF filler, which uses your body’s own plasma to rejuvenate skin naturally and gradually. Results are subtle, long-lasting, and improve overall skin texture.

Factors That Affect How Long Botox and Fillers Last

There’s no universal schedule for injectable treatments, because a few key things can impact how long your results stick around:

• Metabolism: Faster metabolism = faster breakdown of product.
  
  

• Lifestyle: Lots of cardio, sun exposure, or smoking can reduce longevity.
  
  

• Facial movement: More active areas (like around the mouth) tend to dissolve filler more quickly.
  
  

• Hydration and skincare: Hydrated skin holds filler better. Sunscreen and gentle products help preserve Botox results.
  
  

• Product used: Thicker fillers last longer; lighter fillers or PRF offer more subtle results.
  
  

This is why we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Your provider will guide you through how often you really need touch-ups based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Should You Be Getting Botox or Filler More Often?

Not necessarily. In fact, at Le Jolie, we take a “less is more” approach to injectables. Overdoing it can lead to unnatural results, which is exactly what we avoid.

Our priority is helping you look rested and refreshed, not frozen or puffy. We regularly treat actors, creatives, and public-facing professionals in the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills area who trust us to deliver subtle, refined enhancements that work both on-camera and in real life.

What’s a Good Injectable Routine?

Here’s a solid baseline to go by:

• Botox: Plan for every 3–4 months
  
  

• Fillers: Every 6–12 months (varies by area and product)
  
  

• Check-ins: Schedule regular touch-ups or evaluations at least twice a year to make sure your look evolves naturally with time
  
  

If you’re combining injectables with other treatments like Morpheus8, Forma Facials, or IV Therapy, we’ll build that into your long-term beauty plan.
