Is it true that getting Botox for a long time leads to resistance? I've also summarized the differences between the products.

You know how some people say that after getting Botox for a long time, they eventually stop feeling the effects? I’ve summarized the principles behind how resistance develops and the differences between products.

 

 

 

The reason resistance develops is..!

 

Botox contains unnecessary proteins, and when these enter the body, antibodies are produced, leading to resistance.

 

Once you develop tolerance, your muscles won't shrink even if you get hit.

 

The problem is that it is difficult to diagnose whether resistance has developed, and there is a significant difference from person to person.

 

There are some people who do not develop resistance even after taking domestic injections for 10 years.

 

 

The difference between the products is like this.

 

Xeomin (Import): It has almost no protein, so the risk of resistance is the lowest. If you plan to continue receiving Botox long-term, Xeomin is recommended from the start. However, some argue that it is expensive and slightly less effective than other imported products.

 

Allergan (Import): Famous for having the longest duration of effect, but it does not have the lowest tolerance. Recommended for those who want to see quick results.

 

Domestic Premium (Coretox, etc.): Although the possibility of resistance is higher than Xeomin, it is lower than that of general domestic products, and the cost burden is lighter.

 

 

 

To anyone here who has gotten lip fillers, did you get domestic or imported ones? I'd love to hear about your experience regarding how long the effects lasted :)
