How many lots of Botox can you have?

I just had my3rd lot. Not my 4th lot!

Do you mean how many lots are you allowed to have - ie how many the NHS might pay for? Or do you mean how many lots is it safe to have?

I can't answer the question about how many the NHS will pay for. But I've been having it every 3-4 months for 3 and a half years for chronic pain / migraine, (on the NHS) and I think I'm OK!!! I did ask the doctor who does the injections how long I could have it for and she said there was no recommended time limit that she knew of. (Maybe I'll regret having it later on, but it's been worth it).

I've heard of people having it for other medical reasons eg to reduce excessive salivation, and it apparently is less effective over time, but I don't know if that applies to migraine.
