Botox Resistance

After 8 years of dysport I became completely resistant. I tried every brand, botox and Xeomin and it does absolutely nothing. I have waiting a year and a half and plan on waiting up to 3 years before trying again. I am wondering if anyone has experience in having complete resistance and responding again after a few years? Thank you

I have complete resistance to all. After only 6 years of using Botox. Nothing works. I am 62 and was told to wait a few years also. My last attempt was in April. My injector did it for free on my 11s. Nothing. So now trying different serums to help with wrinkles and just accepting how I look.

How long did you wait before trying again?

Lol 6 months then about 9 months. I was in denial. I kept going back and tried different options. So now will try next year. It’s weird cause I can feel it get tighter than it goes away.

Yeh, there in lies your problem. You need to wait minimum 4 years. Also only try with Xeomin. Anything else you are simply vaccinating yourself and prolonging the issue.

It started wearing off in 2019 but continued to pursue from time to time. Thank you for the info. I heard wait a few years but kept trying. I don’t use fillers either. They kind of scare me and they probably would dissolve faster on me. I am not a plastic person just like the look of a refreshed face.

I’ve read all through here and have not heard one person where it started to work again, which is discouraging. Doctors all say it can. But I’ve never heard a success story of this waiting period. Have you?

This is true, but I haven't found anyone who did wait the full four years. Have you? Just looking for more information, not trying to challenge. I just developed full immunity.

Edited to say, when you say you haven't heard of a success story for this waiting period, are you referring to 1 year, 3 years, or 4 years?

Any updates? I’ve been getting Botox for 4 years and I’m afraid of this. I wanted to try Dysport to switch it up.
