Can we use different types of Botox for a touch up? Or must it be the same as the one I did before the touch up?

There are different types of neuromodulators: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and you can change types for your touch-up. It will take 1-2 weeks for your final results after your touch-up. Hope this helps.

Dear mb.x,There are different types of neuromodulators - Botox, Dysport, Xeomin to name a few. They have different drug behaviours and dilution profiles so they are not all the same. In my practice, I do use different types of neuromodulators, but I usually use the same type for the same patient. However, there is no contraindication to use a different type for a touch up. Speak to your doctor and have a in person discussion on what you desire as an endpoint. I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the best!Dr. Terence Goh

Hi,Currently in the US, there is only 1 type of botox but it belongs to a group of drugs called neuromodulators. The two other are dysport and xeomin. It is okay to use the other neuromodulators instead of botox. Best,
