Several years ago I had Botox and it never worked. Three weeks ago I had Botox again in three areas - forehead, eyes and Glabella by a leading plastic surgeon but, again, it has not worked. Even the very fine lines around my eyes are exactly the same.

Answer: Botox Doesn't work In some patients, Botox doesn't seem to work though these patients are very rare. Generally, a larger bulk of muscle requiring more Botox, inappropriate injection, or inadequate dilution (cheap botox) can lead to decrease effectiveness. Some individuals develop an antibody to botox after their first treatment so each successive treatment doesn't work. Best option is to talk to your plastic surgeon and discuss other options such as Xeomin, Dysport, or a browlift to interrupt muscle movement.

Answer: Does Botox not work on some people? There are some people who get no response from Botox treatments. These are people that somehow have developed a natural resistance to the toxin in Botox. It is very rare to have this issue occur, but I have seen it a few times. It is possible that if you have never had Botox work on you that you could be one of these people, unfortunately.
