Answer: BoTox results There are some people who are resistant to Botox, however this is extremely rare. I would make sure your provider is well trained and experienced. I would also try another provider or Dysport. It would also be helpful to know which 2 areas that they injected, to better discuss whether the dosing was adequate or not.

Answer: How Botox works Botox is a muscle relaxer and will relax the muscles into which it was injected. Sometimes the muscle is not injected completely evenly or the Botox doesn't take evenly and other muscle movements become more evident. A touch up treatment can usually solve this issue and most doctors will do it at no additional charge. It appears from your photo that you have Botox on board as well as some movement in the forehead. It may be because you’re not getting enough product or because you have a resistance to Botox (but that’s pretty rare). Xeomin, the newest neuromodulator, may be more effective in some patients who don’t respond well to Botox, but it may also be the injection technique and Botox reconstitution. Your options are changing the dose, finding a different injector, switching to Dysport or Xeomin, trying filler instead (sometimes using filler along with BOTOX can make results last longer). Hope it’s helpful.
