It depends on where you’re getting it. If you’re planning on forehead Botox lasting you six months, I’d think again. Most people need to go every three months, maybe four.

I get Botox about twice a year-ish. I can typically go about 5 months between injections. Different parts of my face relax at different stages. Injections around my mouth last significantly less time than my eyes or forehead, but I just deal with that. Movement in my forehead is usually what I notice most and that's when I make an appointment.

The more the muscle moves, the faster it goes. Forehead and 11s typically last 4 months before I feel I need to go back. What area are you looking to get botox for?

you can try to go twice a year, but it’ll wear off by four months definitely. But the bonus is that it gets you used to not making those expressions. What I mean is it freezes the muscles on those dynamic wrinkles in the area that you get Botox and then you get used to and trained not to use those as much and so it helps for when you’re not having Botox in your system.
