What is Reloxin?
Reloxin is a botulinum toxin type A (NBTX-A ) that is a potent neurotoxin derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.
Botulinum toxin is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances in the world. Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minute doses both to treat muscle spasms, and as a cosmetic treatment for facial dynamic lines and wrinkles.
In Brazil, we have three reliable products: Botox, Dysport and Prosigne, and we have Xeomin and Neurotox pending for approval.
Dysport and Reloxin are exactly the same product but they are sold commercially under different brand names.
Botulinum neurotoxin type A is one of the most important cosmetic procedure performed today. Although NBTX-A treatment can be combined with other procedures, it can produce impressive results when used alone. We have been using Dysport/Reloxin for several years and we have published papers demonstrating that NBTX-A Dysport injection is safe, satisfying and well tolerated treatment for dynamic facial wrinkles.
We have similar results using both Botox and Dysport/Reloxin.
This is a clinical trial using Dysport/Reloxin for facial lines:
