Could my botox be affected by Retin-a? and could this be a reason why it isnt working?

I just read your update asking if your Botox could be affected by Retin-a. I don't think so, but clearly I'm not a doctor. I used both for a while, and while I ended up quitting Retin-a I didn't notice it interfering with the efficacy of my Botox. Here is a Q&A where a couple of the board certified doctors who volunteer on RealSelf seem in favor of using them together:

Botox and Retin-A ... Use at the Same Time?

Imagine this... changed esthetician, had 20 units injected a week ago between eyebrows - wrinle is still there and I still can move my eyebrows together... wow, I will never ever have another break like this because it stops working fully!

I went to another place and they injected another 10 units into my wrinkle between eyebrows because it just refused to freeze after my three visits to esthetician! hopefully it will work this time! I paid $12 per unit. It was Tuesday, today is Friday, I will wait for few days to see if it works! I cant believe that 12 or so months I didnt do injections put me so much behind and cost me so much money to restart!
