I started having botox about 10-12 yrs ago, the last year has been terrible, I keept going to different places to have botox because it wasnt working, I thought it was the injectors that were diluting too much or giving me a "unbranded" product, needless to say I have figured out that I have built up a resistance. I dont want to go the filler route because I dont like the "puffer fish" look. Will botox ever work for me again & uf so, how long must I wait?
Answer: More Options You can try to switch to another product like Dysport. It does the same thing that Botox does. Many patients can switch back and forth between the two if they are noticing a resistance. It's best to consult with a local physician. You may also need to have more units injected.Good luck!

Answer: Botox not lasting. Hello jobaby!. Good question. Botox has an inactive protein. Why is that important to you? We develop antibodies to proteins. This attacks the drug and it might not last as long. Although this happens with very high doses of Botox, I have seen it even with low doses over long period of time. So.... you might have developed antibodies to the Botox proten. Solution? Try swritching to Xeomin. It has no inactive protein. Ask your expert injector. Im sure you will see great results! Good luck! cheers.

Answer: Botox resistance Botox resistance occurs with number of patients but there are alternatives to Botox that can be used. As expected, those alternatives are not as popular because they cost more and there is greater discomfort after injection. I would suggest you to talk to your provider about Dysport and Myobloc. Moreover, depending where you wee getting botox injections, there are other treatments that can help you attain more permanent results and less “puffer fish” look such as limp implants or Restylane for fine lines and wrinkles. Good luck!

Answer: Botox resistance Hi there. We have actually seen Botox resistance in practice. Although Xeomin is commonly offered as an alternative, they are both Botulinum type-A toxins, which often means clients also see the same result after Xeomin injection. The best alternative would be Myobloc which is botulinum type-B. However, there is substantial extra cost, as well as much more discomfort with injection. The product requires some experience to use and is offered much less often. Make sure that your results are genuinely due to Botox resistance first and try the Dysport and Xeomin before moving up to Myobloc. Good luck!
