Botulinum toxin type A
Also called: onabotulinumtoxinA, abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, daxibotulinumtoxinA
The purified protein in neuromodulator injections. In tiny, controlled doses it stops a treated muscle from contracting fully, so the line that muscle creates softens for a few months.
Each brand is a different formulation of the same toxin type, so their units are not interchangeable. See how Botox and Dysport differ.
