Is it possible to be Immune to Botox & Dysport?

It would be rare to develop an immunity to Botox and Dysport.  It may be that additional units are needed to achieve the same results.  Another option you could consider is to try Xeomin.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible. However it is extremely rare to be immune to neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport. The most common reason causing unresponsiveness is undertreating. I would get another opinion from an experienced aesthetic provider. Good luck!

Am I immune to Botox?Thanks for this question! Cases where immunity has developed to Botox and similar neuromodulators has been reported. There still on the market right now another option that you can discuss with your injector and that is Xeonim.You must also remember, that there are other options for improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles such as laser resurfacing, fillers, and other new technologies that can be an option for you in case none of the neuromodulators work in your case.

Thank you for your question. The short answer is yes - you can develop a resistance to Botox and Dysport, but it is extremely rare. It is possible that you’ve developed antibodies to the botulinum neurotoxin, but that too is rare. Botox is a tried-and-true treatment that has been used successfully for close to 20 years. If your injections didn’t provide the results you are accustomed to, it is more likely that it is because of undertreatment. I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon, or ensure that your injector is trained and experienced in the nuances of Botox. Additionally, you may want to try Xeomin, because while it uses the same neurotoxin, the formulation is slightly different. Best of luck.

It is very rare that you are immune to both Dysport and Botox. However antibodies can be develped to these neurotoxins. There are other factors that can play a role into the effectiveness of such neurotoxins, such as under treating, shelf life of the product, stress, working out,and/or higher metabolism. Follow up with your injector to discuss your options and concerns. Hope this helps.
