Neurotoxin

Botox

Botox is a pioneering neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It is the most well-known and widely used botulinum toxin type A for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles, which can smooth wrinkles and treat muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and migraines. Its cosmetic use primarily targets facial wrinkles, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Depending on the treatment area, Botox’s effects typically last three to six months.

Jeuveau

 Jeuveau, often called “Newtox,” is a relatively recent addition to the botulinum toxin type A family, specifically approved for cosmetic use. It is designed to temporarily enhance the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Jeuveau is marketed as a modern-made neurotoxin manufactured using a proprietary process called Hi-Pure technology. Its duration and effectiveness are comparable to Botox, offering an alternative for those seeking aesthetic improvements.

Dysport

Dysport is a botulinum toxin type A product that acts as a muscle relaxant and is approved for therapeutic and aesthetic indications. Dysport is primarily used in cosmetics to treat frown lines between the eyebrows without changing the look of the rest of your face. It is known for its rapid onset, with some patients seeing improvement in just 2-3 days after treatment. Dysport’s effects can last up to four to six months, making it a competitive choice for individuals looking to reduce facial wrinkles and lines.
