It happens in about 1 out of every 10, cases. The exact cause is not known, but it seems that our immune system forms antibodies against the Botox. A more common occurrence is that some people build tolerance to Botox after repeated use and tend to need increased doses over time. Since the explosion of Botox use , researchers and doctors are realizing that resistance to Botox can develop and, even that there may be some who are completely immune to its effects.
According to a representative from Allergan, the company that makes Botox:. Antibody formation is more of a concern when patients must receive frequent injections or when it is used to treat medical conditions such as cervical dystonia that require higher doses.
However, recent long-term studies have indicated immunogenicity to be a minor concern even with that treatment. To put it plainly, Botox resistance immunity does occur in some patients. If it happens again and you are still determined to have a line-free forehead , try seeing a different doctor.
Fortunately, there are options. They are similar to Botox except for subtle differences in their formulation. Sometimes people who did not get an optimal result with Botox seem to respond better to Dysport or Xeomin.
Above all else making sure you find yourself an experienced physician injector will give you the highest likelihood of getting the best Botox results possible!
If that turns out to be the case, then you can thank your amazing immune system, and you could always try learning to accept and embrace those little expression lines, or you could consider trying one of the many alternatives to Botox.
Active ingredient Botox, and brand counterparts Xeomin recently launched and Dysport, share the same active ingredient —botulinum toxin, which works to paralyze facial muscles and mitigate muscle fiber contraction, thereby smoothening wrinkles.
I realized the incredible potential that products such as BOTOX have for not only reversing lines and wrinkles but also for shaping specific areas of the face. So, why is that? First , as more and more med-spas pop up seemingly on every corner and as every person with two arms or maybe less now considers themself an expert injector, there is bound to be problems.
The biggest problem is that many of these spas and salons compete with experienced injectors like myself by lowering their price. And they do so in several ways. Some will simply charge a ridiculous low dollar amount for each unit. Be wary of bargain Botox because you often get exactly what you pay for.
Next, some will charge you by the area. Good injectors will treat you with an appropriate amount of units in each area; less experienced injectors may not. How well BOTOX works and how long it lasts has been proven to be directly dependent upon the number of units.
One injector in my area goes so far as to actually charge by the syringe which is even more ridiculous. With this type of sales approach, while you know the volume you are being injected with, you have no idea how many units this volume actually contains. This is probably the most ridiculous pricing method I have seen and borders not only on deceptive advertising but could potentially be considered an unethical practice, in general.
Next , your injector may not be injecting you correctly. Dysport is most often used to soften and smooth wrinkles on your forehead for results that are fast-acting and natural-looking for a tighter, brighter face.
Its effects may last for up to 3 full months, so again, you may have to wait up to a few weeks until you see the results you were seeking. For Xeomin, you may say that it is not working because all of us want to look our best right away after a visit to a MedSpa like Qazi Cosmetic Clinic.
A treatment usually takes only about 10 to 20 minutes for your doctor to inject Xeomin into your forehead muscles that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. No anesthesia is required, though Dr. Qazi may use a topical or cold pack to reduce any possible discomfort. But a typical duration of effect can last up to three months. Xeomin is the pure form the botulinum toxin and can be very precise with its spread and distribution.
