Hello, I'm a 49 yo female and I've been getting botox in my frown lines for 15 years, some in my crows feet, and marionette lines for about 5. I'm finding the marionette lines and crows feet botox is wearing off in about 2 weeks, and the frown lines are wearing off in about a month. II realize I'm getting older, but my skin is still in excellent condition. Why is it not working anymore? sed to last Botox used to last about 4 months depending on the placement.
Answer: Consider trying a different neurotoxin. Sometimes with continued usage, people can become tolerant to the effects of Botox. When this happens, we typically recommend a different brand. You may wish to consider either Dysport or Xemin moving forward. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Botox Options! Don't Give Up! For glabellar lines (or frown lines / "11" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months.

Answer: Botox not working anymore Hi. This is a very common occurrence over the years of getting Botox and it happens for a few different reasons. The main reason is our skin thins and loses the elasticity as we age, making it easier for any slight muscle movement to create a wrinkle within the skin. So make sure to do at home medical grade vit c and retinols, also laser treatments along with micro needling to increase the tone in your skin. Another issue that makes it seem like the Botox isn’t working as well is that we lose volume in our fat muscle and bone, and with less volume … skin can crease easier as well. Such as in the brow area, these muscles, thin and separate as we age, and the slightest muscle movement, will allow for a creasing. if you place filler into this separation and create a little volume, the Botox would seem to work better and give a smoother effect over the brow.

Answer: Botox not lasting Are you visiting the same injector that you have always used? Are the same number of units being injected? If so you may want to try an alternate neurotoxin such as Dypsort or Daxxify. Note that the number of units needed for correction varies by product.

Answer: Botox resistance is super rare Do you go to the same provider or keep changing places or toxins?The real primary resistance is super rear. Secondary resistance is rare also but can be from medications, injection technique, inadequate storage or preparation techniques, genetic predisposition, etc. You need to discuss with your injector.
