To ask for my money back? Botox not worked .

This is why changed clinics. Used to work great, and then stopped working, my new therapist said lots of people "water" the botox down now.

I now pay about £280 for 3 areas and it lasts 4months and starts working within 2 days. i love it.

Except it has worked for her.

I don’t understand how you even came to that theory. 🤔

You could actually be immune to it - ie it won’t work wherever you go !

It hasn’t worked AT ALL or it hasn’t worked to your satisfaction?

If it’s the former I would inform the nurse in case it’s a dodgy batch.

If it’s the latter it’s a bit tough really. You can always feed back but I doubt you’ll be getting a refund.

I’m a nurse that does Botox and there could be a few reasons for this.

• she could be using a different product, there’s three main ones, Botox, Azalure and Boccoture (there’s also others)
• she could be putting more saline into the solution
• she could be using less units in each area
• shes shit

There is no guarantee with services like this so I'm not sure you'll get far asking for a refund.

You paid for 3 areas of Botox and that's what you received. You didn't pay for a specific outcome so I can't really see how you'd have any right to get your money back.

I’ve had it work sometimes and not others with different people. Agree with others saying it’s likely down to the product used. Typically after a 3rd injection (second top up) it’s worked. Some places advertise a charge if extra top ups are required - avg seems to be about £30

Try and find out what brand you had first time and then this time.
my first time was great, second and then third rubbish, all different brands

Different places use different brands and some charge differently. I have only had it not work once and that was with a topop up. I asked about if it didnt work after the top up and he basically said you would have to pay for more! I didn't go back to them again.

When I next had it elsewhere I asked if it had perhaps been watered down and she said no- but different brands have different strengths (and prices) the place where it hadn't worked there was the injector ( a doctor )) and the salon he worked our of - which meant the money was being split two ways - so she said they probably had bought cheaper stuff to keep the cost to the client down but for them to make money.

All the other times I have had it - it has been a nurse prescriber - either mobile or working out of their own home and I have asked to see what they were using and not always needed a top up.

The last person I saw - I paid for the vial - I had 3 areas - but next time - I will pay for what is usually used on 3 areas but have it injected in 2 - as my eyes are nt bad but the 11 lines - needed more than she would have thought but that was because I had not had any in over a year.

I think you will be hard pushed to get your money back - you may get her willing to give a bit more.

Entirely depends on the terms and conditions that you presumably signed before the appointment.

Do you know which type of Botox it was? Was it a different type than the one you had previously?

Maybe she put less in. The person I go to under doses to prevent droopy eyebrows.

Can you feel it when you raise your brows etc?

I’ve had Botox several times, once I went to a different clinic and it just didn’t work. They were happy to top up three times but even I got fed up after they and gave up.

I don’t think it was to do with the amount injected, I think it’s that different places use different products and different brands. Don’t forget, there are black market products around although I would hope a nurse with prescribing rights wouldn’t feel the need to resort to that.

Definitely inform the Nurse you aren't happy. If she cares about her business she should get you back in for another consultation.

If she's injected how much you paid for into the right places then no, i think its cheeky to ask for a refund for not liking the results.
You've had the product and her time, that shouldn't be free just because it doesn't look how you hoped/your body reacted differently this time.

I had Botox on my scalp (on the nhs) it didn’t work either. Sooooo painful

You can try. I had this once - tried a new place and they argued that the remaining wrinkles were static therefore not affected by Botox. But when I went back to my old place, it worked fine. But be prepared for that excuse.

Tell her that it hasn’t worked. I’m sure she’ll top it up for free.
