Answer: Alternatives to Botox Cosmetic
All of us that have a lot of botox patients will run into cases like yours. I also agree with what others have posted. One, make sure you have a trial with enough med, that is recently reconstituted and placed correctly. If that failed, then consider dysport. It is possible to respond to dysport where your prior history with botox cosmetic was suboptimal. In general, given equivalent dosing schedules, we have had more failures with dysport than botox, but each case is different.
Most of my patients that don't get a normal duration from botox are fast metabolizers. Runners, personal trainers, or just personalities that are constantly on the move. Something to consider for a reason in your case.
Later this year additional competition will also hit the market, including puretox and other companies version of botulinum toxin. Keep your ears open for this if dysport is too short too.

Answer: Botox reacts differently for different people. Some do better with Dysport
I have found that one third of patients like Dysport better than Botox stating that it worked faster and lasted longer. one third of patients treated with Dysport saw no difference and one third didn't like the results stating that there was "too much" loss of motion and/or headaches. So, each individual reacts differently.
