Nonresponder? Am I immune to Botox?

October 26, 2017
Asked By:Jcshaw in Dallas, Texas

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?
