Before I lost weight, I was fine with like 50 total units, after losing weight I need like 150 to get the same effect--which SUCKS for my wallet. I have had touchups with dysport (the 2 week adjustment type) that were great, especially in the platysmal bands. I had to cancel my appointment for this past March because I was home after shoulder surgery and couldn't get myself there easily, and won't be back in til early May (I AM COUNTING THE DAYS!) which puts me at about 6 months from my last injections. I had filler to correct some volume loss that I am paying attention to as well, just to see if Tirz or Reta affect that and SO FAR no noticeable burnoff. We are going to try dysport allover this time, which I've never done allover, so I am hoping I don't have issues where I feel like I need more and more. My injector mentioned that it's good to switch it up here and there, and since I have had a big gap, this should be interesting. I usually get a ton in my 11s, brow lift, crows feet, lip flip, masseters (omg this is the greatest thing ever if you grind) and platysmal bands, and she did a couple units in my lower chin as well.
I actually asked about Daxxify, and she and a few of the other nurse injectors all tested it out when it was made available but did not offer to patients because they wanted to see what their results were. She said everyone was underwhelmed, that it didn't last longer than botox and dysport, and if so it was maybe a few extra weeks, so they are not going to be using that for patients. I usually go every 4 months-ish, so it seems not worthwhile for me. I follow a few other local plastics offices on insta that were the first to use it locally and it seems like they have almost all stopped offering it unless someone specifically wants that brand, because they've found it doesn't last any longer than the other two brands.
Thank you! I will look more into this. I spend a damn fortune on the tox so I don't want to burn that off any faster.
