I had an injection of botulinum toxin on my forehead and glabella and it started wearing off only after 5 months. A doctor has told me that vitamine E and fish oil may interfere with the effects of botox, and at the moment of the treatment I had been taking omega 3 and vitamine E pills for a month. Could it be the reason for lasting such a short time ?

Answer: Vitamin E, fish oil and botox Thank you for your question. The fact that you got 5 months of botox before wearing off is great! Most people need their next treatment after 3-4 months max, so you are very lucky. Vitamin E and fish oil cause your blood to thin which can cause you to bruise from the injections, but otherwise does not affect your results.

Answer: Botox & Vitamin E & Fish Oil The reason that patients are told not to take Vitamin E and Fish Oil prior to Botox is because both thin the blood which can lead to more bruising. Taking either doesn't affect Botox's efficacy. In fact, if your results lasted 5 months, that is a long time. Most patients need to have another treatment at the 3-4 month mark. Count yourself lucky. Hope this helps.
