Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin and Daxxify are the five commercially available brands of botulinum toxin type A, which are used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Botulinum toxin neuromodulators are strategically placed to target specific muscle groups, leading to temporary inhibition of the muscle movement. The treatment is used to smooth and soften expression lines, creating a less tired and more refreshed appearance.
Botulinum toxin effects take about two weeks to fully develop. While the specific duration of effects differ from person to person, and vary depending on dosage, treated area and an individual’s muscle activity and metabolism, neuromodulator results typically last between 3-4 months. All botulinum toxin type A products contain the same active 150-kD neurotoxin molecule, but have unique manufacturing processes, excipients, formulations and units.
