I am 31 years old and recently started getting Dysport injections. After my second treatment, I was frustrated that the results were already wearing off after 6 weeks. By 3 months, it looked as if I‘d never received treatment. I read that Botox works longer for some people, so I asked my injector if I could try Botox and she said that I am not a good candidate for Botox because I am very active. Is this true? Would Botox definitely be less effective for me than Dysport?
