I has Botox injections in February in my brow and around my eyes, my resultslasted only 3 weeks. I went back to my doctor and he reinjected me again in the same areas and this time it lasted 2 months. Has anyone else has problems with keeping their Botox results?

posted by: Claire63 | | Posted Tue, Jul 19 at 7:44 PM PDT | | Mine lasted six weeks the first time and three mos. the second time. I also got tremendous headaches each time that lasted for weeks. Now, I get only 8 units every 3 mos. (no headaches) and I use wrinkle relaxers to "supplement" the botox. My fav one now is Relax Plus Vialox and the other one I use for around my eyes is the Relax-A-Line. That vialox is a new one and it is super-strong. Excellent for my frown lines. The Relax-A-Line is not as strong but just right for my crow's feet. Neither is too expensive. I got mine at cellularskinrx.com but I think **************.com sells it, too. |

Yes, the company is in the states. I think in Austin, Tx. The prices are dollars but they ship internationally if you aren't in the states. Their website is very nice and informative. Check it out at www.cellularskinrx.com.
I have been using the wrinkle relaxers for about a year now? and they work very nicely. Vialox stuff is much stronger than the Relax-A-Line so use it for your lines that drive you crazy and the Relax-A-Line for the less troublesome wrinkles.
Good luck! |

posted by: ErikaM | | Posted Thu, Jul 21 at 4:11 PM PDT | | Sounds too good to be true but I just ordered the Vialox to give it a try. I've tried Bioque before (same ingredients as Relax-A-Line) and that did absolutely nothing for me. Would be great if this one would work. |

posted by: Claire63 | | Posted Thu, Jul 21 at 8:38 PM PDT | | This stuff is definitely stronger than acetyl hexapeptide in my opinion. |

posted by: ivory | | Posted Wed, Jul 20 at 3:04 PM PDT | | In my experience, (have had botox for 4 years), the results are cummulative, the longer you stick with it the longer it lasts, due to the fact that you stop making the expressions you normally make now. Not that you become expressionless, by any means but I noticed I stopped furring my brow as much, there for the results last longer, just had my botox this week and my last injection before this was September. |

posted by: beeguy | | Posted Thu, Jul 21 at 8:36 AM PDT | | Thats what i hear on any filler.I had radiance almost 2 months ago and they say the same thing the more you have the longer it lasts and the less you need.Thats good cuz its spendy!!!! |

posted by: ErikaM | | Posted Thu, Jul 21 at 4:23 PM PDT | | If you're not happy with your Botox results try another doctor. I had the exact same problem and for me that made a difference. I went to another doctor and my frown lines finally got paralyzed (never worked before) and it lasts longer now. I don't know what the reason is exactly but it must have something to do with injection technique, skill of the doctor or the way they dilute the stuff. |

He said it didn't work to come back within 2 weeks and he'd reinject. It worked however and I am so happy with the results. I'd do again even in 2 months -I payed $200- No cream can do what Botox does........... |

posted by: beeguy | | Posted Fri, Jul 22 at 8:43 PM PDT | | 200 gosh where do you live thats cheap.The cream is NOT in place of botex i guess it just helps keep it[will see i ordered the stuff] |
|

posted by: ivorygirl | | Posted Sat, Jul 23 at 4:24 AM PDT | That is cheap..I paid almost 600 for the forehead and brow with a bit to the crows feet. Worked great, btw! I think Im at about 5 wks and I guess I'm getting used to it because the tightness feels lessened. It really lifted up my brows, gave me a nice arch.
My PS is a genious, I don't want to go to anyone else but there is a big $$ difference here. How much do most people pay? I'm in the NE.

posted by: jill61 | | Posted Sun, Jul 24 at 3:23 AM PDT | | Save your $$$ on the Relax A Line. I tried it for a long time and it did nothing. Do a search on the MMH board and you will see many women did not have any results with it. IMO it is a scam product. |

posted by: beeguy | | Posted Mon, Jul 25 at 5:37 AM PDT | | Relax A Line products...I know this is crazy BUT...I did order a few things last wed and received them on thursday and have been using them for a few days and i really can see a difference i had upper&lower bleph surgery and on my left eye in the corner i had 3 little [like a wrinkle but almost where the stitches were] that bugged me i had botex there and it faded them alittle but my PS said it would relax in time well i put the relax plus with vialox on the corner along with a few other places and almost forgot about it until i caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror yesterday and you can see no wrinkle or mark [whatever it was] at all.I don't know take it for what its worth maybe if you have alot of wrinkles/crows feet which i don't you won't see alot of result but i wasn't looking for a miracle just a product not to spendy to use which this is.I am happy with it i also order the lip pout i think its called.Happy camper. |

posted by: Claire63 | | Posted Mon, Jul 25 at 8:12 AM PDT | | Yes. I have to say that it works very well for me, too. I think the Vialox is much stronger and if I massage it in a bit, I really can "feel" it sort of getting in there, spreading around. For me, definitely not a "scam" product. I also use the Relax-A-Line and have been for more than a year now. I think since these products work off of limiting enzyme release if youdon't really make a lot of them, then you probably wouldn't see much of a result. |

posted by: ErikaM | | Posted Thu, Jul 28 at 7:50 AM PDT | In the meantime the Vialox I ordered arrived too. I've been using it for only 3 days so I'll withhold judgement for now. So far I can't detect any effect though.
In general I'm thinking it's worth a try but what worries me is the warning that I found in the following article http://www.smartskincare.com/treatments/acetylhexapeptide.html
"..And while Argireline may reduce wrinkles, it may also, in theory, increase facial sag because the neurotransmitters whose release Argireline inhibits, help maintain facial firmness. Notably, a popular firming skin care ingredient DMAE firms by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters and increasing facial tension, i.e. by producing roughly the opposite effect to Argireline. Whether Argireline may indeed contribute to facial sag has not been studied. Until more is known, people prone to facial sag should approach Argireline with caution and monitor their facial firmness while on it."
Argiriline is the active ingredient in Relax-A Line. I know Vialox has another active incredient but I guess it's the same principle.
