I have had botox 2 times the first time 20 units and it wore off I want back for a touch up but it didn't last. The 2nd time I had 40 units and I saw much better results but it is wearing off again at the 5 week mark again. What could cause this
Answer: First of all, the dosage (whether it has been properly diluted or not), secondly the duration and the consistency of use Thank you for your question! First of all, the dosage (whether it has been properly diluted or not), secondly the duration and the consistency of use and last but not least, the experience of the provider who does the Botox injections. There are many reasons to determine why it is not lasting as long for you. The most likely reason is simply that some people typically need more and some people need less; you might just be needing a little more than the average person due to strong muscles. You should contact your injector if you are not satisfied with the results or consult an experienced provider to help you out. Best of luck!

Answer: Consider injection technique and injector experience The first thing that comes to mind is injection technique and injector experience. Botox is dependent on proper injection technique and experience. Board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons and their teams should be well versed in all the proper injection techniques that we are currently using, and we would encourage you to find out about the experience level of the person injecting the Botox. On occasion, you will need more Botox in certain areas, but this is not the usual case. And now with different toxins out there, such as Dysport and Xeomin, perhaps one of the others may be more appropriate for you moving forward.
