What Does Botox Packaging Look Like?

Any reputable doctor will not mind showing you the bottle. There is a hologram on the label and it should also say that it is manufactured in Irvine, CA by Allergan. Finally, each bottle has an expiration date, so if trying out a new doctor, it is a good idea to double check that too.

Botox comes with white label with the Allergan's Botox logo and a purple top. When you examine the bottle closely there is a hologram across the label. Because you probably don't handle the bottles all that regularly, and it would be pretty difficult to spot a fake, your best bet is to go to a reputable dermatologist.

Allergan is the only legitimate US distributor of Botox. Ask to see the hologram on the label, and check the expiration date! Beware of sales, parties, and prices too cheap to be true...it is offshore, fake, and dangerous! The reputation of your doctor is vital.

As a consumer, if it sounds too good to be true, it may not be real. Allergan's Botox bottle has a hologram on it. You must ask questions and perform research to make sure you are getting proper care: Is the doctor listed on the Botox website? Is the doctor performing the injection him/ herself?
