Overview
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) from Allergan (an AbbVie company) is the original and most extensively studied botulinum toxin type A. It is a 900 kDa neurotoxin complex used across a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic indications, and serves as the reference brand for the category. Its dosing units ('Allergan Units') are specific to the product.
How it works
OnabotulinumtoxinA blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction by cleaving SNAP-25, temporarily relaxing the injected muscle. The effect is localised, dose-dependent and reversible over time.
