I have been getting Botox for 10 years & have recently developed a resistance. I have used the same board certified plastic surgeon for over 5 years & always had great results. After a treatment last May, I noticed there was no result so I returned for a second treatment which did not work. Both Dysport & Xeomin have also been ineffective.
