If you know your face is resistant to Botox, what should you do?

Q: If you know your face is resistant to Botox, what should you do?

Don't panic! Sometimes the problem isn't as serious as you think. Doctors usually recommend the following: rnrnChange Botox brand: Allergan, Xeomin, Dysport – each has different purity levels. Xeomin has fewer protein components, reducing the chance of antibody production. For this indication, it might be a good option in cases like this. rnTake a break from injections: Space out injections (6 months to 1 year) to allow the body to reduce antibody production. However, this doesn't mean you can't have other skin treatments during this time. rnUse alternative procedures: Such as fillers to fill wrinkles, Ulthera or HIFU for skin tightening, biostimulators, bio-remodeling, or mesotherapy lasers for brighter, smoother skin. Enhance your skin's surface with high-quality cosmetics. rnThis plan can help.

Don't panic yet. Sometimes the problem may not be as serious as you think. Doctors usually recommend these steps.

Change the brand of Botox.
Allergan, Xeomin, and Dysport each have different levels of purity. Xeomin contains fewer protein components, reducing the likelihood of antibody formation. Based on these indications, it might be a suitable option for this type of case.
Stop the injection.
Allow a longer gap (6 months to 1 year) to allow the body to reduce antibody production. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything to your skin in the meantime.
Use an alternative procedure.
Examples include fillers to fill in wrinkles, Ulthera or HIFU to tighten skin, biostimulators, bio-remodeling, or mesotherapy lasers to brighten and smooth the skin.
Use good quality cosmetics to take better care of the upper layer of your skin.

Botox resistant face

Botox resistance usually occurs when the body produces... Antibody Let's fight against botulinum toxin, the active ingredient in Botox. It's the direct reason why Botox injections may not be as effective as expected; some people experience no reduction in wrinkles or no muscle relaxation after injection.
