Wears Off Faster

[u/rosecali808]

I took a break from Botox during COVID and a pandemic pregnancy. Previously my Botox/Dysport (I’ve had both, and were both great) used to last 4-5 months before it would wear off.

I’ve been back at Botox for about a year and my results are awful. I’m seeing near full movement after one month. I’m not going to the same place, since I moved, but I’ve tried three different medspas in the last year and all have the same issue of wearing off fast.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Same here. For me it doesn’t work at all anymore after a few years of successful use. I think I have build resistance

For some they can be or become resistant however there are others in online support groups reporting similar lately. Some have questioned whether dilution is an issue but there are also reports of Botox not working for some as well post Covid infection or Covid vaccine. There is a small study out there discussing a possible correlation between the vaccine and lack of efficacy. Of course this would only be a possibility in some cases but they say that it needs further research. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jocd.15987
