If Botox, Dysport and Xeomin don't work anymore can I use Restylane on glabellar lines instead? (Photo)

Botox, Dysport and Xeonim no longer work on me. I'm told there's no such thing as "developed immunity" to these but my forehead says there is. My last try was 60 units of Dysport Just for furrows between brows and no change. Can Restylane be used for these lines instead?

Hi and thank you for your question! Since you just had Botox 4 days ago, you still need to wait as it can take as much as 2 weeks for the full results of the Botox the final look to settle. At that time if you are still having problems, it can be easily fixed by small touch ups and it would...

Sometimes the forehead area will appear smooth except for a small area. I would recommend a follow-up with your injector for a few more units of Botox. This is not unusual. The location or placement of the Botox is more important than the actual number of units. Good luck

Hello, and thanks for your question. As long as all signs of infection and swelling are gone, you should be fine to get BOTOX® and fillers. However, just to play it safe, I would suggest checking in with your doctor before making an appointment for injectable wrinkle treatments. You might also ...

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, BOTOX® won't have a tightening effect on your butt or help to get rid of cellulite. That's because it works to smooth away wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscle contractions that cause them. Instead, you might want to look into a Sculptra® butt l...
