Botox Only Lasted 6 Weeks

May 25, 2010
Asked By:8046anon in San Diego, CA

I got Botox injection 6wks ago-25units then a week later got 15 more in glabellar only. Botox seems to have 'worn off' & Dr suggests getting more. I've had it in the past, lasting 4 months & longer. All I've read says not to get it for 3mos. Was the Botox done improperly? diluted?
