Can Botox stop working after regular use?

Asked By:paryzanka21 in Chicago, IL

I've been getting Botox injections for a year and a half now and have always had good results with no movement for up to 3-4 months. My recent Botox injection of 20 units (regular amount) showed movement in the treated area right afterwards making lines and wrinkles show up. Is it normal for Botox to stop working after regular use? Is my body immune to it or is it a case of 'diluted' Botox? I have been going to the same clinic since I started and never had any problems.
