Today, there are several different botulinum toxin (commonly called “Botox”) brands available worldwide.
They all contain the same active ingredient (Botulinum Toxin Type A), but they differ slightly in how quickly they work, how long they last, and how they spread in the skin.
Botox® (Allergan) → The most studied and widely used brand worldwide. Considered the “gold standard” for both safety and effectiveness.
Dysport® → Works a little faster than Botox and spreads more widely. Often chosen for larger muscles such as the forehead or jawline.
Xeomin® → A “pure” toxin without complexing proteins. This may reduce the chance of the body developing resistance (antibodies).
Jeuveau® (“Newtox”) → A newer brand, developed mainly for aesthetics. Similar to Botox in effect, often marketed as a more affordable option.
Daxxify® → The longest-lasting option on the market, with results lasting up to 6 months.
Alluzience® → Approved in Europe, available as a ready-to-use liquid (no reconstitution needed).
Nuceiva® → Similar to Botox, used in Canada and Europe as a cost-effective choice.
Letybo® → A Korean brand, now FDA-approved in the US. Fast onset with natural results.
Relfydess® → A new liquid-form botulinum toxin launched in Europe.
All brands are safe and effective when performed by a qualified doctor.
The choice of brand depends on your muscle structure, treatment area, and desired results.
Some brands act faster (Dysport, Letybo), while others last longer (Daxxify).
The most established and widely recognized product remains Botox® (Allergan).
New-generation products (Daxxify, Alluzience, Relfydess) stand out for their longevity and convenience.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nutrition & Supplements | Zinc supplements (doctor-approved), balanced diet | Excessive green tea | Zinc supports Botox binding; green tea can act as a muscle relaxant |
| Skincare | Keep skin hydrated, use SPF | Excessive sun exposure, tanning beds | Healthy skin supports Botox effects; UV damage shortens duration |
| Lifestyle | Balanced exercise | Intense workouts, regular sauna/steam | Heat/metabolism can break down Botox faster |
| Facial Activity | Gentle expressions in first 4 hours | Excessive facial movements daily | Controlled activity helps settling |
| Medications | Only doctor-approved meds | Frequent muscle relaxants, strong painkillers | Some drugs interfere with Botox activity |
