Botulinum toxin injections in aesthetic medicine is used primarily for the reduction of wrinkles. The bacteria Clostridium Botulinum produces a neurotoxin that can cause life threatening muscle paralysis known as Botulism. Botulinum toxin works by blocking the chemical signals in the nerve that causes it to contract. Thereby causing muscle paralysis. Clostridium Botulinum produces eight different toxins: (A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F and G). Type A is the most potent. Followed by types B and F. Four of the six commercially available toxins used in cosmetic medicine are made up of Botulinum toxin A. This includes Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. The less popular toxin preparations from Botulinum toxin B are Myobloc and Neurobloc.
Botox (onobotulinumtoxinA):
Botox was the first FDA approved toxin and remains the most popular type of Botulinum toxin A preparation. The onset of action after Botox is about 72 hours. This toxin formulation retains the protective proteins which can induce antibody formation and make treatment ineffective. Early preparations of Botox where more likely to yield antibodies. Newer preparations have a reduced risk of antibody formation. Duration of action of Botox injection is about 3 months but can be longer up to 6 months in certain patients.
Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs):
Jeuveau (Newtox) is the newest FDA approved Botulinum toxin and has the same molecular weight as Botox. It is a similar preparation to Botox and Dysport in that it also contains protective proteins with the possibility of developing antibodies.The onset of action and duration of action is also similar to Botox.
