Am I immune to Botox? Or just getting ripped off?

November 8, 2015
Asked By:SueLewy in West Chester, PA

Four different cosmetic offices put botox in my forehead. Not one treatment worked for my horizontal lines even with follow up. The 11's area worked only until the 4th doctor I'm trying and now 20 units in my 11's didn't work when it did before...am I immune to botox all together? Is this possible? It's all about what time of the week a bottle of fresh and potent botox is open and ready for customers to come in for and I come late every time. Am I right in my thought that I'm getting ripped?
