The most common reason Botox doesn't work is that not enough was administered. Botox isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment and the same dose doesn't work for everyone. Some people may need additional Botox to achieve an effective level of muscle weakness. Botox can also be old, overdiluted, or fake. When it comes to the amount of Botox needed, it's important to understand that a “light” treatment is often not enough to achieve the desired results.
Many Med Spas offer the cheapest price for Botox to attract customers, but this approach can lead to suboptimal results. To get the most out of your treatment, it's best to choose an experienced provider with a proven reputation for excellent Botox results, such as a board-certified plastic surgeon. Another possible reason why Botox isn't working is that some people develop resistance to it after repetitive use, requiring higher doses over time. This simply means that Botox was effective in preventing movement and relaxing the muscles that cause skin wrinkles, but the remaining lines seen are called “rest lines” and do not respond to Botox. Finally, there is a risk of getting fake or expired Botox from salons and other non-medical or quasi-medical centers. It's much safer to go to a licensed physician who can get authentic Botox or Dysport. If you haven't experienced what Botox Cosmetic can do for you and how powerfully but naturally it can reverse the signs of facial aging, I encourage you to see me for your next treatment.
Before you give up on Botox altogether, it's important to know some of the reasons why it may not work and what you can do to get the most out of treatment.
