I have been getting botox for a couple years for the crows feet area and it always wore off too quickly. I tried Dysport (same thing) and recently I tried the Xeomine. Non work. Within 2 weeks it looks like I had nothing done. I am 38 and very active. I know resistance to these products is very rare, could I be in that percentage? Is there an alternative?

Answer: Wrinkles resistant to Botox Yes, wrinkles may become resistant to Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin. As other cosmetic specialists have stated, taking a Botox break is a good first option. After 6 months or more, you should be able to resume Botox (Dysport, Xeomin) and see the desired results. A topical cream is coming, but not available yet. Best,Dr. Chaboki

Answer: ThermiRase There is a procedure that targets the nerves to the forehead that produces the 11 lines (glabellar wrinkles) where we identify the nerves and thermally damage them so they can not give you the wrinkles. It has been approved by the FDA but is only done by a limited number of physicians at this time.
