Botox Wearing off Quickly?

Thank you for your question and concern. I train a lot of injectors in the proper technique for Botox injections. Here are some of the common reasons that Botox wears off too quickly:1)  Inadequate dose - higher doses usually corrects the problem2)  Cookie cutter approach to injecting Botox.  The same technique is used for every patient and it works for most, but not all patients.  The cookie cutter approach fails to appreciate the differences in anatomy of the facial muscles that can vary by the individual.3)  Rarely, there are patients who truly have shorter durations with Botox and may want to consider the different neuromodulators available to see if there is a difference. I would recommend that you go an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who does a high volume of injectables to discuss your experience in more detail.

You should see your injector to discuss your results, as not enough may have been administered. Usually, results should last about 3-4 months, which means you may not have gotten enough this time.

After a month, I would not call it a touch-up. This is fairly long after the initial injection and will alter the timing of the next session. Discuss your Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) dosage with your treating physician
