I've been having Botox for 15 years (I'm now in my 60's) & noticed the last few times that Botox hasn't improved my crows feet. It also seems less effective around my forehead. I go to an injector with 18 years experience who is also a Dr. When I discussed my concerns last time with her, she advised that the Botox won't fix my crows feet and I need filler to correct it. She's conservative & I get 22-30 units for around eyes/forehead. Is it possible that Botox stops working after long term use?

Answer: Botox Hi @youbeauty. The most common reason that Botox does not work is that not enough was administered. Another reason can be that winkles are too deep for Botox to work on its own. If you have deep lines that are present at rest when you are not using the muscles, then you may not be able to get rid of those wrinkles with Botox alone. In that case, injection of a dermal filler may be needed to provide further improvement. True Botox resistance is rare. A more common occurrence is that some people build tolerance to Botox after repeated use and tend to need increased doses over time.

Answer: Skin laxity and botox Hello and thank you for your question. A face to face consult and examination is always best however in this scenario it is possible that the botox has become less effective. This is due to overlying skin tissue laxity and volume loss around the area. Please always seek treatment from a trained medical professional for any cosmetic treatment. Best wishes

Answer: Botox less effective There could be several potential reasons for the decreased results from Botox. It could be that the product is still correcting the muscle action, but skin laxity may be masking the results. It could be that you now require higher doses of the product to achieve the same results. Or it could be that you are developing a resistance. You may want to try a different modulator such as Dysport, or the longer lasting product Daxxify.

Answer: Botox Resistance-- Dysport, Xeomin, Microneedling If Botox is not an option for you, Dysport or Xeomin are the next options. I suggest dermarolling at home to give the skin Botox-like effects with at-home treatment. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
