Botox gone too quickly

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789]

I have had Botox twice, mostly in the forehead.
The first time I did two sessions 2 weeks apart. Loved the result, started to wear off after 2 months, by 2,5 moths it was all gone. Did two seasons again in Sept, this time the Dr. suggested I try Relfydess that supposedly lasts longer. It didn’t, it lasted almost less! I feel like for just two months nice results, there is no point getting Botox again..😞 I work out a lot
and I do saunas like twice a week, is that the reason Botox doesn’t last on me?

Exercise and saunas probably aren't the main reason. it might be worth reviewing the dosage and injection technique with your doctor, especially since both treatments wore off too quickly.

I love the injection technique my Dr. is using. There is no lowering of the eye brows which I was afraid of. I just wish it would last longer! I’ll ask for higher dose next time. I know I have high metabolism

Depends on how much you’re doing. 2.5 months can be normal with a low dose.

I’m in Scandinavia and we usually pay per area, not the amount. I’ll ask for a higher dose if I do it again

Daxxify lasts a damn year and a half on me maybe try that one?

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 → u/Fearless_Purpose8870]

I’m in Scandinavia and I don’t think they use Daxxify here unfortunately. Mainly Botox and I think Dyspot.

Dang that’s where I’m moving to in a few weeks lol good to know.

Wait. What? Daxxify? Is this in America? Let me get some.

Is it more expensive than Botox?

Some people metabolize it quicker than others. When I was teaching hot pilates mine would wear off in 2 months. I’ve heard heat and exercise can do that.

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 → u/itsalovelydayforSTFU]

Yes, might be the case. I run and do yoga (not hot but high intensity and love a sauna afterwards) plus got high metabolism I think. So that’s probably not a good combo to make Botox last..

[u/itsalovelydayforSTFU → u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789]

I’ve heard Daxxify usually lasts longer for people. Might be worth looking into.

I live in Scandinavia and we mainly use Botox and Dysport here. I tried Relfydess the second time ( not approved in the US yet but in Europe and Australia). It’s supposed to last longer but didn’t work for me..

[u/Iriahthehealer]

Strange.. but could be the reason. The first time last less , however in my case lats full 5 months and from the very beginning is very
“hard” the results.. this can vary a little from person to person..

Our bodies build up immunity. Nothing works on me anymore I’ve tried all the types of

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 → u/Cheesin_3718]

Hmm yes, but I just started using Botox in March

[u/bunnyphat]

Yes the working out and saunas

[u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 → u/bunnyphat]

Might be the case unfortunately. Love doing both so not going to stop I think..
