What is the difference between Juvederm and Botox? Are the ingredients for Juvederm safer than Botox?
Answer: Botox and juvederm do not share chemical structure
Allergies to Botox and Juvederm, and Restylane, are extremely rare. If you had a reaction, it might be a different type of reaction other than allergy. The botox molecule and the hyaluronic acid molecule in Juvederm are completely different, so even if you were allergic to one, you shouldn't be allergic to the other.

Answer: Allergies to both BOTOX and Juvederm are rare.
Assuming that you in fact had an actual allergy to BOTOX, the likelihood of you also having an allergy to Juevederm is very low but not zero. If you are concerned about this, I recommend that you have your cosmetic surgeon apply a test injection of Juvederm somewhere inconspicuous like the arm. If you have no reaction to the injection after 10 days then it is improbable you will have an issue with the product. Just remember that allergies can develop anytime. So if you think you are having a problem, immediately bring this to the attention of your injecting physician.

Answer: Botox and juvederm not at all the same
Botox and Juvederm are not at all the same so a cross reaction would be unlikely unless there is something in common to both such as a preservative etc.. that I am unaware of. You could ask Allergan that before injecting. Without knowing the nature of your "allergic reaction" the only other thing that I can think of that could be common to both is an allergy to something that the doctor uses on your face prior to injection. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor. I have seen reaction to my numbing cream.

Answer: No Cross-Reactivity with Botox and Juvederm
Having had a reaction to Botox does not put you at increased risk with Juvederm. The two are completely unrelated and do not have cross-reactivity.

Answer: Botox and Juvederm are Different
Botox is onabotulinum toxin type A (a form of neurotoxin) and Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid ( a form of tissue glue found throughout the body). These are chemically dissimilar, achieve different effects, and are used for different purposes. There should be no cross antigenicity between these products, which are both made by Allergan.
