BOTOX®

(OnobotulinumtoxinA) BOTOX® (the Brand name) is the classic neuromodulator on the market and has been in use for almost 20 years. It was originally approved for use in 2002 and remains the most popular type of neuromodulator. BOTOX® contains certain protective proteins that some people may develop antibodies against, which will lessen the effect over time. This is what people call “BOTOX® resistance” and why it is sometimes recommended to alternate between using different products. BOTOX® is produced by Allergan and is manufactured with the strictest safety protocols at their facility in Ireland. You can read more about the manufacturing process in my blog post.  There is also a therapeutic version of BOTOX® that can be used to treat medical conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, and eye spasms.
