Resistance to Botox - Xeomin is a Lifesaver! - Bellevue, WA

Hi Megan, The first time I tried Botox, I loved it, and it lasted about the same 9 month period. The second time, it lasted about 3 months. The third and fourth times, it lasted 3 weeks tops - and that's with a touch up after the second week on both tries, from two different doctors. I am at this point, I'm convinced that I'm pretty much immune to it - and after only a couple uses. Once Xeomin comes back on the market (hopefully Jan?), I will give it another go and report back future time elapsed between touch ups. I tried to go in for another round mid-last year, but it was pulled because of the lawsuit. In any case, I'm hopeful it will remain effective for just as long the second time around. As far as cost, this was SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive. Botox has cost me up to $600 in the past, Xeomin was a little less than $300 total (across forehead, and between brows).

Hi Tony,

I'd love to know who you saw for the procedure. I am also in Bellevue and am researching doctors now. Also, how long did it take for all side effects to subside and clear eyesight to begin?

Thanks!
