Your body may be developing resistance to its proteins, but this can only happen after a person has received many treatments with Dysport. You may need a higher dose or more units to be effective. The most common reason Botox doesn't work is that it wasn't given enough. Botox isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment and the same dose doesn't work for everyone. Some people may require additional Botox to achieve an effective level of muscle weakness.
Dr. Bucay compares Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin to three different M&M candies, with the first two having a red or green outer layer and the third, which represents Xeomin, being just the core of the chocolate. In some cases, individuals who didn't get an optimal result with Botox seem to respond better to Dysport or Xeomin. Botox and its homologous brands Xeomin (recently launched) and Dysport share the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin, which works by paralyzing facial muscles and mitigating the contraction of muscle fibers, thus smoothing wrinkles. It's important to note that not everyone will respond to Dysport in the same way. Some people may find that it works better than Botox while others may not see any results at all.
It's important to consult with a qualified medical professional before undergoing any type of treatment. The best way to determine if Dysport is right for you is to consult with a qualified medical professional who can assess your individual needs and determine if Dysport is the best option for you. They will be able to provide you with more information about the potential risks and benefits associated with this treatment.
