I am terribly allergic to Botox and have deep furrows in my forehead. What can I do? I have tried Botox 5+ times each with a different doctor so I am allergic but need help with forehead, glabella lines, etc. Are there any alternatives?
Answer: Allergy to Botox
You say that you have an "allergy to Botox," but you do not state what your allergy is. What symptoms do you experience. It is very unusual for someone to be allergic to Botox. There are other botulinum toxins that you can try such as Dysport. Also, you may want to look into dermal fillers as an alternative or supplement to Botox treatments. Good luck.

Answer: Botox Allergy Botox allergies are quite uncommon. You can try alternative neuromodulators such as Dysport and Juveau. They produce a similar result to Botox treatments.

Answer: Botox alternative It is possible to have a good improvement of forehead lines from fillers, if the lines are visible when your face is in a neutral expression. You can also consider laser treatments.

Answer: There are alternatives to Botox
I doubt you are allergic to Botox since 5 doctors injected you with it and you probably never ended up in the hospital with breathing problems or a bad itchy rash. If the Botox doesn't work on you, then that is not an allergy. Dysport ($300-500) is another type of botox like material that is worth trying as long as you didn't breakout in hives or rashes. Fillers like Restylane and Juvederm ($550-600 per syringe) are great for filling in forehead and glabellar creases. Some patients need both fillers and Botox/Dysport to get the grooves filled in well on the forehead.

Answer: Alternatives to Botox There is another product called Dysport which works the same way. Whether or not it is suitable for you depends upon the nature of your allergic reaction; some people use that term when it is a lack of response. In rare cases, the body does form antibodies that neutralize the product. Normally an allergic reaction means hives, itching, things like that. If that is the case then it might be risky since the products are very similar. I would suggest that you contact someone who does Dysport and have a detailed discussion.
