Age 31, female, do you have any suggestions for Botox resistance?

Asked By:jennycoconut24 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hello, I am a 31 year old female. I first received Botox at age 28. The first 4-5 times, it worked very well and I was quite "frozen". However, in the past year, I have noticed my face starts moving by week 3 and full movement by week 8. Very frustrating. I have tried the 3 other major brands as well and increased units. Someone suggested to me that perhaps my Covid vaccine has something to do with it. Has anyone experienced this issue with their patients? Any suggestions?
