Dysport for Patient Immune to Botox?

April 30, 2009
Asked By:Anne in Denver in Denver, CO

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?
