Botox does not seem to take on me. No matter how many doctors claim they can make it work, it never does. Last time the doctor was so convinced it would work that he did me for free, along with my filler. Even he was shocked when I came back a few weeks later and my frown was still there. He offered no explanation for it. Could you please tell me what might be causing my body to reject it?

A very small proportion of people (less than 1%) do not respond to botulinum toxin (Botox). If you are one of the very few unlucky ones, there are other options, such as filler, mesotherapy and/or dermal roller. The results are good, although not quite as effective as Botox. However these treatments should offer a significant reduction of your frown lines.
This is a bit embarrassing, but I just can't seem to get rid of my belly fat. I have had done every treatment on the market and have had two lots of lipo-suction. Plus I spend loads of time in the gym and do lots of cardio. I have cut back on carbs and am not a drinker. What do you think it is? Might I be allergic to something?

Sorry to hear about your problem. It is always worth having allergies checked out, and blood work to measure your testosterone levels and see if you are taking in too much estrogen. You sound like the perfect candidate for localised injections of aqualyx.
Aqualyx is an acid (deoxycholic acid), specifically formulated to be injected directly into areas of small fat deposits. It is completely natural (the acid is secreted by your liver under starving conditions) and can reduce or even eliminate the fat deposits for good. The results are permanent and a patient may need up to four sessions for optimal results.
