I got 40 units of Botox in my forehead, two weeks later I have movement. So, I went back to the med spa and they said I may be a "Non-responder" and so they tried dysport. I feel okay after 5 weeks of that, but I think i am seeing some movement. At this point I don't really know if that is normal, is that such a thing to be immune to Botox?
Answer: ? non responder thankyou for your question,

Answer: Immune to Botox There is a phenomenon wherein patients develop antibodies against the neuromodulator and become "resistant" to the neuromodulator. When this happens, I do switch to a different brand, Botox to Dysport or Dysport to Botox, to see if a different protein carrier on the neurmodulator might make a difference. However, such antibodies are usually due to some years of treatments. After switching, I would increase the dosage if there is still suboptimal effect before determining "resistance."
