Botox Only Lasted 6 Weeks

All botox is diluted. Only the number of units matter. As long as the botox was not diluted a month prior and the injections done correctly your result should be consistent, but I have had an occasional patient in whom the effect was different once without an explanation as to why. The next treatment went as well as usual.

Botox typically lasts 3-6 months, although this depends greatly on the patient. Therefore, this does not mean that the treatment was done incorrectly. It is important to keep in mind that each patient is different and has specific needs depending on their skin type, diet, and other medical conditions.Certain patients may require a higher dose. It is recommended to check back with your doctor about this issue.

For whatever reasons the results of Botox are not always consistent even among the same individuals when performed by the same practitioner. I would consider another attempt and if this is not satisfactory consider the use of Dysport. 

Hi,

God only knows.  Hopefully you have a good, trusting relationship with your injecting physician and it will be taken care of.  Otherwise, time to take your wrinkles elsewhere.

Good luck and be well.

Botox lasts typically 3-6 months, and this number varies greatly depending on the person. If you have a very strong and active glabella muscle, it may be true that you need more product. It could also be true that the Botox was improperly reconstituted, with more liquid than necessary injected as a dilution substance. I recommend checking back in with your doctor and seeing what he thinks, being that he knows your history w/ Botox.
