BOTOX®
If you want to buy BOTOX® online, our sales team can provide instructions. BOTOX® is derived from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Allergan manufactures it and works by cleaving SNARE proteins, which prevents the fusion of acetylcholine-containing vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. This prevents acetylcholine release, inhibits muscle contraction, and makes BOTOX® a useful treatment for wrinkles, muscle spasms, migraine, and more.

BOTOX® Administration Techniques
Before you buy BOTOX® online, it's important to understand that the administration technique will vary depending on the condition you want to treat. Here are general guidelines for injecting BOTOX® for cosmetic purposes:- Use a 30-gauge needle and tuberculin syringe to inject affected facial muscles. Ensure correct injection volume and concentration
- To reduce the risk of ptosis, avoid injecting near the levator palpebrae superioris, especially in individuals with larger brow-depressor complexes
- Injection sites in the lateral corrugator muscle should be at least one cm above the bony supraorbital ridge and not less than one cm above the central eyebrow
- Injections in the forehead area should be above the lowest fold produced when the individual elevates their forehead or at least two cm above the brow
- In older individuals, avoid injecting the lower portion of the brow, as it is essential for raising the eyebrows to see
- When injecting in the midpupillary line, inject one cm above the bony superior orbital margin, with a dose not exceeding five units
- When treating lateral canthal wrinkles, inject at least 1.5–2 cm temporal to the lateral canthus and just temporal to the orbital rim
- Inject superficially in a series of continuous blebs to avoid ecchymoses, with each injection at the advancing border of the previous one
- A second treatment session may be needed for optimal results if several rows of deep forehead lines are present
- Firmly massage sites laterally following injection
BOTOX® Side Effects
Common side effects of BOTOX® include:- Pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection site
- Headache
- Muscle weakness or drooping
- Flu-like symptoms
- Dry eyes or excessive tearing
- Difficulty swallowing or speaking
- Allergic reactions
- Spread of toxin beyond the injection site
BOTOX® Vs. The Competition
The three main competitors of BOTOX® are DYSPORT, XEOMIN, and JEAVEU. Here’s what to know about them if you want to buy BOTOX® wholesale:Similarities
- All four brands contain botulinum toxin type A and are neurotoxin-based injectables used for both medical and cosmetical purposes
- They are all FDA-approved
- Their cosmetic purposes are similar, which include reducing wrinkles and treating muscle elasticity, spasms, and migraines
Differences
- The formulation for all four brands is different:
- BOTOX® : onabotulinumtoxinA
- DYSPORT: abobotulinumtoxinA
- XEOMIN: incobotulinumtoxinA
- JEUVEAU: prabotulinumtoxinA
- XEOMIN is a naked neurotoxin, meaning it lacks the complex proteins found in BOTOX® and DYSPORT, which results in a lower risk of allergic reactions
- DYSPORT spreads and offers wider coverage, making it suitable for treating larger areas. In comparison, BOTOX® and XEOMIN have localized effects, which are more helpful for precise treatments
- DYSPORT has a shorter duration compared toBOTOX®, while XEOMIN lasts longer. JEUVEAU’s duration is similar to BOTOX®
