I am 58 years old and have had botox since i was in my early forties now however the results are not good I have been told its because I have thin facial skin and not enough cushion underneath for the botox to work properly is this correct or do i need to see another doctor i do not want filler put directly into my face to add more cushion as he advised me to do .

Answer: Botox Advice Hello, and thank you for your question. The effects of Botox are not dependent on the thickness (or thinness) of one’s skin, so I suspect that your doctor has suggested fillers to add volume to your face, thus achieving the best overall aesthetic result. I would suggest that you speak to your doctor and ascertain exactly what he is suggesting – and the results he would expect from this – before making a decision. Best of luck!

Answer: Botox on thin skin It is difficult to assess what is going on without a photo. Since botox is injected into the muscle it should not matter the thickness of the skin. It may be after all these years you have developed a tolerance to botox and changing the dose or switching to another neuromodulator would be helpful. It may be that your provider has suggested dermal fillers to get the best results. Dermal fillers will replace volume and lift to the face which may be what you need.
