The number of Botox units were probably not enough

Nissan Pilest, MD answers: Why did Botox results lasted only a few days?

I had 17 units of Botox. For 10 days, it worked and I couldn't cringe at all. I couldn't move that area. Now at 13 days I can again and the lines seem to be reappearing. I thought it was supposed to get better. Is that normal to have worked and then stop working so quickly? I am very upset about this.

Depending on the size of muscles, the amount of Botox may differ.

For the Glabella area, the usual amount is 20 -30 units. If we inject less, the results will not last the usual 3-4 months and the muscle movements will restart sooner. So, a little more Botox will probably do the job for you.
