Should I get less Dysport but more often for my forehead and crows feet since results only last 8 weeks?

If the Dysport is not lasting the full 12 weeks, I would try either increasing the dose of Dysport or switching to a different product. All brand names carry basically the same neurotoxin, but have different carrier proteins. These can induced different reactions in different people, including working longer or more effectively in some people. It is possible that another product would work a bit longer. If this is not the case, then the amount of neurotoxin you receive should be increased.

The best way to answer your question is to see how big and strong your muscle groups are. Dysport if done right should last 4 months. Hopefully your provider didn't over dilute while reconstituting the product. Get a second opinion. Otherwise it should work for you, it has for all my clients. Hope this helps. JB

I would consider 80 units of Dysport a small dose to treat the forehead and crow's feet.  The dosage of Dysport used does influence how long the results last.  I would usually use 120 units to treat the forehead and crow's feet.  I would recommend increasing your dose, which should make the results last longer.  Using a lower dose will make your results last even shorter than they are now.  

Results last differently for everyone. On average I would say that 3 - 5 months is the duration of Dysport. If you see it coming back sooner, you can just get more injections once it starts disappearing.

It sounds as though you may be undertreated.  You may need more units injected for a more complete result.  The typical longevity of Dysport is 3 to 4 months.  If you do not notice an improvement with more units added you may want to seek a new injector.

It appears you're getting a lower dose of Dysport then your facial muscles require, as you should expect about 3-4 months of longevity after treatment. I would suggest seeing another Board-Certified Dermatologist, explaining the dosage and time frame you've laid out here. They can provide a second opinion at your cosmetic consultation for the correct dosage and injection technique so you can enjoy longer, more dramatic results from Dysport!

Dysport should last 3-4 months, not only 8 weeks.  Part of the reason could be you that are not receiving enough Dysport during your treatment and, as a consequence, you see your results fade too early.  I would recommend talking to your provider about the results you are experiencing, and potentially consider increasing the amount of Dysport you receive.

Hello. Thank you for your question. 80u for your forehead and crows feet is a very low dosing. Your injections are only lasting 8 weeks because the dosing is not high enough. If you add to the dosing it should last longer for you.

Dysport lasts around 3-4 months. The 11's could use 40-70 units depending how strong your muscles are. You should have this discussion with your injector. You could probably benefit from more units and will see your results lasting a bit longer.
