Why does my dysport fade after only 3 weeks?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. There are several factors that can affect how long the product is lasting. Such as how much is injected, and where it's injected. You may want to ask them how they dilute their product as well. Good luck!

It could be from over-dilution, bad batch or autoimmune rejection. It would be a good idea to consider trying either botox or xeomin next since they have a different molecular structure. Ultimately consult your injecting doctor.

Thanks for this question. It can happen, but it is not that common. Alternatives do exist for people with this issue. You should return with your injector and review your before and after photos. Smoking will make you look older and more wrinkled no matter what you do when compared to someone your own age who does not smoke. Speak with primary care about a cessation program. Good luck and best wishes, Dr. ALDO

It's rare, but some people can be fast metobolizers. You can try Xeomin as an alternative to Dysport or Botox. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Anne 
Thank you very much for your question.
I hope that you understand how toxins work: they kill the nerve endings that go to the muscles.
This is good - were they to stay dead you would have a lifelong result from one injection!!
They do come back to life and new nerve endings generate and this is when you sense it is wearing off.
My purely personal observation is that those that are very strong (ie have deeper lines to start with) start moving quicker. Also those who cannot stop themselves frowning etc find the effect wears off quicker.
The type of toxin seems to make less difference although in my hands I get best results with genuine Botox.
So I guess the rather unsatisfactory answer is that it is a bit like someone who bites their nails - you have to get out of the habit as quickly as possible and this will save you a fortune because the effect will take much longer to wear off.
I do hope this helps.
Kind Regards
