I have had 58 units of Botox in my forehead, my 11’s and above my eyebrows due to previous Botox results left me with the “Spock”. I am four weeks out and still have full movement. I have gone back one already after originally having 32. They did additional 26 and still no change. Why would this happen?
Answer: When Botox fails, consider Xeomin! 58units of Botox should be enough to make your forehead completely immobile, like an ice skating rink, but there are several factors to consider. Some people do not get a full effect after repeated treatments, and trying another brand of neuromodulator may be considered. It's possible your injector didn't target your high forehead muscles to allow you to keep the ability to elevate your brow. You appear to have a response in your lower forehead. Occasionally a batch or bottle of Botox can be weak. Touching up your forehead should be straightforward, so consider revisiting your doctor. Good luck! Dr Joseph.

Answer: Improving forehead wrinkles with Botox/Xeomin/Dysport--add fillers, lasers and microneedling/prp Botox can be used to improve forehead wrinkles. Deeper wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox and lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Failed Botox. Why would this happen? It's difficult to say. This may be due to placement. Keep in mind, it can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. Deeper wrinkles need a combination with fillers. Hope this helps.

Answer: Failed Botox. Why would this happen? Hello Candyann521 - Sorry that you are having this issue. Based on the photos that you have provided it appears that you may need additional units for correction. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin lock the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin essentially paralyze the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from these treatments are visible within two to four days with results that can last anywhere from four to six months. It is best that you follow up with you injector to discuss your options and goals. You can also see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
