What is the difference between Botox and Botox Cosmetic?

Asked By:Canadian_NewYorker in Manhattan, NY

A doctor told me that he gets charged a certain amount for Botox per unit by allergan and a different amount for Botox Cosmetic. I was very confused because I thought it was the same. I'm looking to have Botox done on my jaw to help with TMJ. What is the difference between the two and which one should I get?
