I have tried Botox twice for the wrinkles between my eyes. I went to two different MD's with in 5 years. Botox has failed both times. I didn't even have a slight change. Apparently, I am immune to Botox or something like that. I have heard that it doesn't work for 2% of the population, not even the first time. Lucky me! My question is, should I try Dysport or will I have the same results as I did with Botox considering it is the same toxin?
Answer: Will Dysport work for me if Botox did not?
We believe there is a low probability that Dysport will work for you if Botox did not. With that said, if Botox results are something that you still are very interested in attaining, then it's probably worth the risk of trying Dysport and failing.
We would suggest going in and having a small area injected (maybe the area between the eyes) to see what the effect is. While it's possible that you have developed a resistance to Botox in some manner, it's also possible that you were not injected correctly or that too little product was used previously. Give it another shot and good luck!

Answer: Dysport may work if you're "immune" to Botox
I have answered this question before and will now repeat my explanation.
Dysport and Botox are both Botulinum Toxin type A products. They are, however, subtly different. It is this small difference that may account for Dysport working where Botox does not. In my practice I have treated a couple of patients that don't respond to Botox injections. They seem to be doing well with Dysport so far. Traditionally we have used Myoblock for these patients, but Dysport presents another options. I would recommend trying Dysport if you find that Botox is not effective.
I hope this info helps!

Answer: Botox and Dysport immunity Chances of your getting a positive outcome from Dysport if Botox has not worked is very slight. The products are almost identical and both work the same way on the proteins that allow signals from nerve to muscle. Most people end up with frown lines from unconsciously contracting the forehead muscles. One "old" way of combating that habit is to use a paper pasted over the wrinkled area (called Frownies). If you are consistent in using them, you can see some lessening of the frown lines. If you do use them, pay attention to your skin and be sure to clean the area well after removing. If you have any skin irritation, stop using them.

Answer: No Some people respond better to certain neurotoxins than others. If Botox didn't work for you, I would try Dysport or Xeomin. Jeuveau is also an option. It is rare to be immune to all of them.

Answer: Dysport for immune Botox paitents
Dysport is Botulinum B which is slightly different from Botox which is Botulinum A. Therefore, although Botox may not work for you, Dysport very well may.
