The body begins to form antibodies to the product. This process of resistance usually takes months or years to complete. Other doctors use Botox to relieve underarm sweating (when antiperspirants don't work) or to relieve palmar hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating of the palms. Xeomin was created to counteract the long-term effects of long-term use of Botox.
Henry Claravall, Plastic Surgeon at Institute A. Teo, a regular Botox user for more than a decade, uses treatment for his own jaw. This was two years ago, when he first heard about Xeomin in Singapore. Since then, he has been using it regularly on himself and his patients in his Singapore clinic.
Thanks to strict laws from the country's Food and Drug Administration, the Aivee Group had to wait until an authorized distributor, in this case Merz Pharmaceuticals (also responsible for Ulthera), purchased the permits locally. While long-term Botox users may notice less sensitivity over time, that doesn't mean the brand isn't effective. Teo just wants to give options to his customers.

It is a little-known fact that some people can become resistant to the effects of Botox. The results of Botox last between 2 and 6 months; the average result lasts between 3 and 4 months. Why does Botox finally stop working? Your body produces new neurotransmitters all the time, so the “blocking” effect of Botox gradually wears off as these chemicals begin to circulate back into the body. Muscles are no longer inhibited.
That's not to say that everyone who no longer fully responds to Botox will find that Xeomin takes its place, but for most it will. For some patients, accessory proteins practically nullify the action, so Botox users who had developed a type of immunity to those proteins discovered that their Botox no longer worked. Unfortunately, there are unethical suppliers who sell Botox at a discount, which is either too diluted to maximize profit margins or is not really BOTOX at all. Bucay compares Botox, Dysport and Xeomin to three separate M%26M candies, while the first two may have red or green outer layers, the third, representing Xeomin, is just the chocolate core.
Botox and its counterparts from the brand Xeomin (recently launched) and Dysport, share the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin, which acts to paralyze facial muscles and mitigate contraction of muscle fibers, thus smoothing wrinkles. That said, if you are wary of returning to the same supplier for any reason, get a second opinion or switch to an MD injector before investing in additional BOTOX. Botox injections are not without risk and the effects last for a short time (three to four months is the norm). Instead, a BOTOX treatment plan plus injectable fillers to fill the skin can help you maintain a youthful appearance and your natural facial expressions.
According to those who do recognize the phenomenon of resistance to Botox, the figures are low, since between 1% and 3% of patients who are injected will develop toxin-blocking antibodies. According to the journal InStyle, “In a double-blind study comparing Xeomin and Botox, both doctors and patients could not distinguish the final result between the two formulas, although many patients noticed that there was less Botox-style stiffness in the areas where Xeomin was injected once Xeomin was injected. started to take effect. A provider with experience in both can help you determine if Dysport is a better alternative to BOTOX for you.
In 99% of cases where someone says that “their Botox did not work, disappeared too soon, or “metabolized it quickly”, the patient is usually given an insufficient dose. .
