I am 53 years old and I have had Botox injections on 5 separate occasions from 5 different board certified doctors hoping that I would see results. I did not. The "eleven" lines between my brows are fine (not deep) therefore I thought Botox would be perfect. Is it possible that I have antibodies that would prevent me from getting results from Botox? Is there an alternative to Botox that would give me the results I am searching for? Thank you so much for your time and advice!
Answer: Possible, but probably require a higher dose Hi DW,

Answer: Immune to Botox It is possible to develop resistance to Botox,usually through your body making antibodies to the Botox. The number of units injected may account for decreased response. However, if you have developed a resistance, then Dysport or Xeomin may still work. Dysport, Xeomin and Botox are all preparations of botulinum toxin A which is a derived protein that works at the nerve-muscle interface to relax targeted muscles. Dysport and Xeomin have been around in Europe for a long time and more recently introduced in the USA. Note the dosage is not the same between the drugs though each works well in my experience.

Answer: Consider Dysport Why not try a different type of muscle inhibitor, such as Dysport? If that doesn't work, then you an consider a different treatment such as fillers.

Answer: Botox for 11 lines not working There are cases of patients being resistant to Botox. Although it is not very common, we have seen it before. If you have been injected by five different board certified physicians, there's a very high probability that the procedure was done correctly more than once especially if you shared your previous history with the subsequent practitioners.
