Are there different types of Botox?

Yes, while we often use “Botox” as an umbrella term, there are a few different brands of botulinum toxin type A injectables approved for cosmetic and medical use:

  • Botoxยฎ (OnabotulinumtoxinA): The original and most well-known brand.
  • Dysportยฎ (AbobotulinumtoxinA): Slight differences in formulation can lead to a somewhat faster onset and potentially wider spread.
  • Xeominยฎ (IncobotulinumtoxinA): “Naked” protein, free of certain additives found in other brands, theoretically reducing the risk of developing resistance.
  • Jeuveauยฎ (PrabotulinumtoxinA): A newer competitor often marketed as specifically for cosmetic use.

All these brands work similarly. Your injector at AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills will help determine the most suitable option for your needs and goals.
