What could be possible reasons for my botox not working?

Asked By:nicolenestrydom in South Africa, ZA

I've used botox with wonderful results. Suddenly it stopped working. I've since went to other drs. too and the botox do not take effect. The last dr. I've been to, used botox and not Dyssport. It took effect on my crows feet area but not my frown and forehead. She injected more botox after 2 weeks, she thought perhaps she used too little units. After another 2 weeks she injected more, and now after another 2weeks, it seems that it still hasn't taken effect. Am I resistant all of a sudden?
