I have twice had Botox on my frown lines and on each occasion It's lasted only 4 weeks. I've been very happy with the results but not sure why it wears off so quickly. I'm 32 and have had 50 units each time. I'm a runner, could it be exercise related?

Answer: Why is my Botox only lasting 4 weeks?
The amount of time Botox lasts will not be related to exercise. In general, the Botox lasts for 3 months on average. If you do not feel that the Botox is lasting long enough, you may want to ask your provider about Dysport. It has a faster onset than Botox and lasts slightly longer. I hope this helps, and best of luck to you.

Answer: Botox and longevity
Depending on placement and technique, this has been know to happen for some people, a shorter efficacy than what's expected for cosmetic Botox. Sometimes we recommend trying a different neuromodulator - or waiting a little longer between treatments to avoid potentially building up a tolerance to the product.
