If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “when should I book my neuromodulator treatment?” or “how long should I wait before my next session?” — you’re not alone. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about timing your Tox treatments like a pro so you can stay looking fresh and fabulous.
When to Get Your First Treatment
Whether you’re considering Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau (or Tox as we affectionately call them), the timing for your first session depends on your goals.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Prevention Mode
If you’re in your mid-to-late 20s or early 30s and just starting to notice fine lines when you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows, it’s a great time to start. Think of it as hitting the pause button on wrinkle formation.
Reversal Mode
For those seeing deeper lines or static wrinkles (the ones that don’t disappear when your face is at rest), don’t worry — it’s not too late! A Tox treatment can smooth those lines and help soften your overall appearance.

What About Touch-Ups?
Sometimes, even with the most skilled injector, you might need a little tweak. Maybe one eyebrow is a touch higher than the other, or a stubborn line didn’t quite smooth out. No big deal!
When to Schedule a Touch-Up
The ideal window is about 2 weeks after your initial treatment. By this point, the neuromodulator has fully kicked in, and your injector can evaluate the results. If you’re thinking of asking for adjustments before the two-week mark, hold tight. Tox takes time to settle and reveal its full effect.
What to Expect
Touch-ups are quick and usually involve a small amount of product to perfect the results. And don’t worry — needing a touch-up doesn’t mean anything went wrong; it’s just part of tailoring the treatment to your unique face.
How Long Until Your Next Appointment?
Once you’re happy with your results, the next question is: How long will they last? And more importantly, when should you rebook?
Longevity
Most neuromodulators last around 3-4 months, though some lucky individuals may enjoy results for up to 6 months. If you notice movement returning in treated areas, it’s a sign your Tox is wearing off.
Re-Treatment Timing
To maintain your smooth look, book your next appointment every 3-4 months. Waiting too long between treatments can allow wrinkles to form again, potentially requiring more product during your next session.
Consistency is Key
Regular treatments can actually “train” your muscles to stay relaxed longer, meaning you might eventually need less product or fewer appointments over time. (Win-win!)
Tips for Making the Most of Your Tox Treatments
Plan Ahead
If you’ve got a big event like a wedding or reunion, schedule your treatment at least 2-4 weeks in advance. This ensures any touch-ups are complete and your results have fully settled.
Post-Treatment Care
Follow your injector’s aftercare instructions. That means no rubbing the area, avoiding intense workouts for 24 hours, and keeping your head upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
Stay Consistent
Set a reminder to rebook at the 3-month mark. This keeps your look seamless and prevents wrinkles from making a comeback.
Final Thoughts
Tox treatments are a fantastic way to smooth wrinkles, prevent lines, and maintain a youthful appearance, but timing is everything. Whether you’re starting young to prevent wrinkles or addressing lines that have already formed, a well-timed treatment plan will keep you looking your best year-round.
