I Have Always Used but Botox but Tried Xeomin Recently and Haven't Had Great Results. Am I Resistant?

February 3, 2012
Asked By:liliruss in Houston, Texas

I have always love botox but my doctor stopped offering it and said xeomin would work better. I've waited three weeks with still no results, just some twitching near my right brow. Could I be resistant? I had the same amount/units as normal, if I switch back to botox will it still work. I have heard that it isn't recommended to go back and forth. I also take olive leaf extract and read that sometimes it is a natural antitoxin( use it for acne) Thanks!
