Non-surgical cosmetic treatments have become an increasingly popular way to maintain a youthful appearance without the risks or permanence of surgery. However, one common question among patients is: how often should these treatments be repeated to achieve optimal results? The answer varies depending on the type of treatment, the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term aesthetic goals.

Understanding Treatment Longevity

Different non-surgical modalities have distinct durations of effectiveness:

Botulinum Toxin (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®): These neuromodulators relax muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, typically lasting three to four months. Individual metabolic rate, muscle activity, and dosage can influence longevity.

Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers or biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra® can restore volume, enhance contours, and improve skin texture. Depending on the type of filler and treatment area, results may last six months to two years, with deeper or collagen-stimulating fillers often providing longer-lasting effects.

Skin-Tightening and Collagen-Stimulating Treatments: Modalities such as radio-frequency, HIFU, or microneedling with PRP encourage collagen remodeling and skin firmness. While initial results can be seen within weeks, periodic maintenance treatments, typically every six to twelve months, are recommended to preserve and enhance skin elasticity over time.

Dr. Simon Ourian’s Individualized Approach

At Epione, Dr. Simon Ourian emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all schedule for repeating non-surgical treatments. He develops personalized treatment plans based on a comprehensive analysis of each patient’s facial anatomy, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. By considering natural aging patterns and the patient’s aesthetic objectives, Dr. Ourian ensures that treatments are spaced to maximize results while avoiding over-treatment.

This strategic scheduling allows patients to maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance without compromising natural facial expression or introducing artificial effects. His approach highlights the importance of balance, subtly enhancing features while preserving the patient’s unique identity.

Why Maintenance Matters

Regular, customized maintenance is key to sustaining long-term results. Skipping follow-ups or attempting aggressive corrections too quickly can lead to uneven outcomes or diminished effects. Under expert supervision, patients benefit from a gradual, harmonious enhancement that evolves gracefully over time, reflecting both artistry and science.
