For years, Botox and its counterparts—Dysport and Xeomin—have been the go-to injectable treatments for relaxing facial wrinkles and softening expression lines. But what happens when they suddenly stop working? If you’re noticing your usual neurotoxin isn’t delivering the same results, you’re not alone. At iConcierge Medspa in Florida, a breakthrough alternative is available for those who are resistant to standard neurotoxins: Myobloc.
Why Botox Might Stop Working
Botox resistance isn’t common, but it’s real. After repeated treatments, some patients develop a tolerance or immune response to the botulinum toxin type A used in Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. This can happen when the body starts to produce antibodies that neutralize the toxin before it can affect the targeted muscles.
Some signs you might be experiencing resistance:
- Your usual dose isn’t producing the same smoothing effect
- Results wear off much faster than expected
- Areas that used to respond no longer show improvement
For individuals experiencing these changes, switching to another type A toxin often doesn’t help, as all type A neurotoxins are molecularly similar. That’s where Myobloc steps in.
What Is Myobloc?
Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB) is a botulinum toxin type B. Unlike Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin—which are all type A toxins—Myobloc works through a different molecular pathway, making it ideal for patients who have developed resistance to type A products.
Originally approved by the FDA for the treatment of cervical dystonia, Myobloc has been shown to be effective in aesthetic applications as well. It has a quicker onset compared to Botox and may produce results within a couple of days. Although its duration is slightly shorter than that of type A neurotoxins, Myobloc offers real promise for patients who thought they had run out of options.
Why Myobloc Is Rarely Offered—and Why iConcierge is Different
Despite its potential, very few providers are trained in the proper use of Myobloc for cosmetic purposes. This isn’t just because it’s a newer concept in aesthetics—it’s also because the learning curve is steep. Precision in dosing and understanding the pharmacology of type B toxins is vital for safe and effective outcomes.
At iConcierge Medspa, you’re in the hands of one of the few experts who have mastered this art. Nina Traster, PA-C, founder, brings a distinctive combination of medical depth and artistic skill. Her journey from primary care to facial aesthetics wasn’t accidental—it was a strategic move to build a solid foundation in human health before mastering cosmetic treatments. She understands how systemic health impacts aesthetic goals and integrates that knowledge into every treatment plan.
Her expertise with Myobloc sets her apart. Nina has dedicated time and training to understand how to use Myobloc effectively where other providers fall short. While most injectors focus only on mainstream options, Nina is among the 1% of medical aesthetics professionals who go further—offering ultrasound-guided injections, ongoing follow-ups, and hands-on communication throughout your treatment journey.
The iConcierge Experience: Tailored, Transparent, Trusted
From your very first consultation, iConcierge aims to do more than just provide a treatment—it’s about crafting a personalized experience based on your goals, physiology, and lifestyle. Nina and her team start with an in-depth consultation that goes beyond aesthetics. They’ll evaluate your history with neurotoxins, identify signs of resistance, and map out a treatment plan that includes potential alternatives like Myobloc.
If Myobloc is the right fit, your journey doesn’t stop after the injection. iConcierge stays connected, offering follow-ups via phone, text, or video calls. A two-week check-in (either in-person or virtual) ensures everything is progressing as planned. This isn’t your standard medspa visit—this is a medical-grade experience with a concierge level of care.
How Myobloc Works for Facial Aesthetics
Like type A neurotoxins, Myobloc blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The difference lies in the protein structure, which allows Myobloc to bind differently to nerve terminals, bypassing type A resistance.
Benefits include:
- Faster onset of results (typically within 1–3 days)
- Viable option for those with type A antibody resistance
- Smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements
Drawbacks worth considering:
- Slightly shorter duration (average 2–3 months)
- May cause more initial discomfort due to acidic formulation (easily managed at iConcierge with numbing and comfort techniques)
A Smart Alternative for the Right Candidate
Myobloc isn’t for everyone. If you’re new to injectables or still responding well to Botox or Dysport, there may be no reason to switch. But for those who:
- Have had diminishing results from standard neurotoxins
- Suspect or have confirmed type A resistance
- Are looking for faster-acting alternatives
…then Myobloc is worth exploring, especially when administered by a provider who knows how to navigate its complexities.

FAQ: Myobloc for Botox Resistance
How long do results last?
Myobloc typically lasts around 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your metabolism and treatment area.
Does it hurt more than Botox?
Myobloc has a more acidic pH, which can cause mild stinging. At iConcierge, comfort measures like topical numbing or distraction techniques are used to minimize discomfort.
Can I go back to Botox after trying Myobloc?
Yes, you can. Some clients switch back once antibody levels drop, while others continue with Myobloc for consistent results.
