Hi! Unfortunately after trying differents Dr/providers on Botox, Jeuveau & Xeomin on my 11 lines & around my eyes went from 20/25/30 units on my frown & 10 each on my crows feets They seem never worked , effect never actually kicks in :( Im 47 female & Am I rare case where my body simply reject this type of toxins, is there anything else I can try that give me result? I'm running out of options here. Thanks in advance
Answer: Ineffective 'botox' Thanks for your question. There are rare cases of individuals who do have 'neutralizing antibodies'- meaning that their immune system has produced antibodies which inactivate botulinum toxin used for cosmetic or therapeutic injections. Again, this is extremely rare. I've been injecting since 2005 and have only come across 2 individuals in all that time. There is no easily available 'test' for this. And, if you have these antibodies then no brand of tox will work for you because the active ingredient is the same in all of them. A dose of 10 units around your eyes based on your photo is likely too light a dose to give an adequate relaxation- so dose can definitley be part of the problem here. Xeomin in particular has the lowest amount of active ingredient fyi. You may want to consider trying the newest tox- Daxxify- it has a special peptide which helps it to bind better and have a stronger effect/longer duration of effect. Daxxify units are not interchangeable with the other toxin units, it is really unique. The recommended dose of Daxxify between the brows is 40 daxxify units, and around the eyes is 24 daxxify units per side. Many doctors, including myself, charge "by the area" for Daxxify because the units are so different from the other tox brands. I hope that helps.

Answer: Ineffective Botox Botox and other neuromodulator resistance is rare but real. PDO threads for wrinkle control/reduction is a great option is this case whether you have natural or induced resistance.
