I use a very good doctor with a fantastic reputation in Ireland. However my botox only last about 2 months on my forehead. I do have a young face for a man in his 30s. Any ideas as to what biological process could be the reason and/or any way to get longer out of botox
Answer: Botox Length of Effect The effect of a botox injection typically lasts between two to six months. The time frame can vary for several reasons, including smoking, diet, and sun exposure. Another factor to consider is the frequency of injections- it is generally not advisable to have injections in the same area more than every three months. Some patients report a longer-lasting Botox effect with repeated injections, while others report the opposite and appear to develop a resistance to the neuromodulator-- it is important to talk to your doctor to determine what could be the cause.

Answer: Botox longevity There can be a few reasons that your Botox lasts only two months. One could be that you are undertreated. You may want to speak with your injector about the number of units that are used. Some people metabolize the product faster than others. You could try a different neurotoxin such as Dypsort to see if you find improved longevity.

Answer: Botox treatments Dear Andy,Botox usually lasts around 3-4 months with normal dosing. Two reasons why it might last shorter involves using less dose than the muscle really requires and having a patients body develop some resistance to Botox over time.For the 1st cause, making sure the injector used the correct amount of botox is importantFor the 2nd cause, consider switching to Xeomin or Dysport to see if that different subtype of Botulinum toxin gives you a longer response.I hope this was helpful .

Answer: Why is my Botox not Lasting? Hi Andy. There are several different possibilities. The first is that you are not getting enough units. If the number of units is to small, then the product does not last as long. If you are being sold the product by the "area" rather than by the "unit" this may be the case.It's also possible that you may metabolize the product more quickly than others, but this would just point to needing more units and should be fixable.Finally, regardless of what the reputation, there are good and bad injectors at all levels and if the product is not being placed correctly, it can affect your results.

Answer: Botox lasting 2 months Hello, Botox typically lasts about 2-3 months. This may differ based on your injector's reconstitution method. Also I would consider trying a different type of neurotoxin, such as Dysport or Xeomin to see if the duration is different with those types.
