I had masseter botox with 30 units in each side 5 weeks ago. Still I'm constantly clenching and had no slimming at all. I went in today and was told some people who were vaccination against COVID became immune to botox and this is supposedly what's happening in my case so they tried dysport. I am nervous I won't see any results and end up just have wasted my money again. Is it likely to see results this time? If not are there no other alternatives?

Answer: Immunity Each neurotoxin is designed a bit differently. If a patient does not respond to Botox there is a chance that Dysport or Xeomin may work. A new FDA neuromodulator on the market is Daxxify. This product is different from the others and its effects can last several months longer than the others.

Answer: Botox alternatives Thank you for your question. There are a few things to consider. One is that you may need a higher dose of botox in the masseter. Also, for patients with TMJ issues, I typically will also treat the temporalis muscle in addition to the masseter. Assuming that the issue is your immune system recognizing the botox, yes, there are alternatives such as Dysport, Xeomin, Juveau, and Daxxify. I'll typically try Xeomin in patients who have developed tolerance, as it may be less immunogenic. I hope this is helpful information, and all the best to you.
