“Tox” Neuromodulators

All About “Tox”

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, by now, you’ve probably heard about Botox®. Afterall, it is that *magic* injection that improves wrinkles, skin tone, and results in HAPPINESS (it’s true….Botox® has been shown to improve depressed mood)!

While most of us refer to all “Tox” brands as “Botox” this class of medications are formally referred to as neuromodulator agents and there are several brands available for use here in the USA. Those include Jeuveau®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and good ‘ol Botox®. In fact, all of these medications contain the same active ingredient – Botulinium Type A. Tox products work by temporarily making it harder for you to make certain facial expressions, such as frowning, thus reducing lines created by the actions of these muscles. Side effects are minimal and include the potential for bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites and treatment effects are typically seen within a few days of injection.

What’s The Difference Between The Various ‘Tox’ Brands?

While the active ingredient is the same throughout all of the products, the ‘recipe’ and manufacturing process varies amongst them. This variation can create subtle differences in duration, effect, and potency as shown in the chart, below.
