Hi, I am 30 years old and tried for the first time Dysport then moved to Botox for my glabella lines. I have been at it for the past three months waiting 14 days every time I've gotten injected no luck!!!!! why??? they are saying in rare cases people are just immune to the toxins...of course me! Now they are suggesting fillers. Please suggestions, I'm frustrated and now a little scared Thank you so much
Answer: Botox and dysport won't work. Any suggestions? Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are scared. Despite some patients developing a tolerance/resistance to wrinkle relaxers, It is very surprising to not obtain any results with either Botox and/or Dysport, so it makes one wonder about factors that may be playing a role. Because we do not have all the information on where or how your Botox/Dysport was injected, nor how many units were used, my recommendation would be to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who can work with you on developing a treatment plant. A wrinkle relaxers results are largely dependent on the skill of the injector and their familiarity with treating a wide range of patients. Hang in there!

Answer: Botox and Dysport don't work Dear andreita0001:After thousands of patient injections, this is the first I hear that Botox has not worked. There are reasons for patients to be dissatisfied with Botox, Dysport and Xeomin results. The may include:improper muscle injectionproper prior muscle injection with recruitment of other musclesneed for filler to add volume to a static, deeper furrow or linewrong medicationPlease consult with a 2nd opinion, well respected, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or ENT Facial Surgeon to examine and review your concerns. I wish you the best.

Answer: Botox Failure? It's unlikely that Botox would not work. For this to happen either the Botox was not injected properly, it was dated or not even Botox, or your lines are static. No botulinum toxin will work on static lines. If you re-post your question with good full-face and close up photos in both relaxed and frowning positions, perhaps your question could be answered more accurately. jlr

Answer: Botox inactivity Im not sure what you mean by "won't work"? Are you able to still move the glabella muscle or do you mean that the wrinkle is still there? I find it hard to believe that if you were properly treated with legitimate product that is properly diluted and dosed, you won't see muscle weakening. I would find a new provider before you decide the treatment didn't work. As far as the wrinkle is concerned, the Botox or disport is designed to keep the dynamic wrinkles from worsening, it doesn't do much for static wrinkle or wrinkles at rest. Besides, it takes many injections over a couple of years to see gradual improvement in existing wrinkles. 3 months won't do it. Are you being treated by an experienced physician? if not, then thats part of the problem. Botox is a prescriptive medical treatment and should only be injected by a physician.

Answer: Toxin no responders! With both Botox and dysport they are manufactured with the same bacterium and carrier proteins while Xeomin toxin uses a different bacterium and carrier protein. Maybe try that one. Or yes fillers can fill but not paralyze!
