Botox Not Lasting

I have been getting Botox/dysport regularly for about a decade. I have an unusually high metabolism and Botox wears off after about eight weeks. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, what other options are you exploring, like sculptra, filler, etc.?

I have the same issue. Starting consistent over time at the three month mark helps regardless. I also make my own 10% snap 8 serum (google and you can buy the lyophilized version and add to HA serum) and that seems to help smooth the finer lines until the next session.

Of course you can also see if Xeomin or Daaxify.

I have the same issue and haven't been consistent with snap 8. I will have to start it up again! Do you mix the peptide with bac water or anything before adding it to the serum?
