So, you’ve started Botox—or you’re thinking about it—and now you’re wondering: “How often do I need to keep coming back?”

It’s a smart question. Botox isn’t a one-and-done treatment, and your 40s are a pivotal time to get ahead of deeper lines while preserving a natural look.

At Lasting Impressions Medical Spa in Fair Lawn, NJ, we help women and men throughout Bergen County build realistic, personalized Botox maintenance plans that actually work.

Let’s break down what the ideal timeline looks like in 2025—and how you can get the most out of every visit.

Why Botox Maintenance Matters More in Your 40s

Your 40s are when collagen slows down and expression lines settle in more quickly. You might notice:

Consistent Botox treatments can help soften and prevent these signs of aging—but the key is consistency.

Botox Frequency: Annual vs. Quarterly

Quarterly Maintenance (Every 3–4 Months)

Annual or Twice-a-Year Touch-Ups

What We See in Practice

Most patients in their 40s get the best results with Botox every 12–16 weeks—but tweak that schedule based on muscle movement, metabolism, and personal aesthetic goals.

Botox Maintenance Timeline: 2025 Update

Here’s a general guideline for keeping your Botox results consistent:

MONTH

January

April

July

October

TREATMENT

Start fresh for the new year

Spring refresh (before allergy eyes!)

Summer boost (weddings, vacations)

Holiday prep for smoother selfies

Want to stretch it to 2x a year? Aim for April + October. Need more support? Quarterly visits (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct) will keep you looking consistently fresh.
