Posted under Botox q&a

Botox and Xeomin are lasting only 4-6 weeks. Is there any specific reason this is happening?

jennyct
The first time I had Botox, it lasted about 3 months. The second time, it lasted about 6 weeks. I then gave up until a special for Xeomin was offered. It kicked in at 7 days and starting wearing off at 35 days. I basically got a month's worth for my money. My doctor suggested either changing the product to Dysport or increasing the amount above 20 units. Which suggestion appears to be the best route?
