How much does a Botox injection cost? How to distinguish between genuine and fake Botox in the United States

Botox is a very famous imported botulinum toxin. Many people are recommended to have Botox by doctors when they go for face-slimming injections. Botox is a very safe drug and you can inject it with confidence.

The price of a Botox injection needs to be determined according to the actual needs of the girls, because according to different needs such as face-slimming injections or wrinkle removal, the amount of Botox needed to be used is also different, so the price is also different~ Previously, the price of Botox on the market was generally around 2,000 yuan, but this year the manufacturer adjusted the price of Botox to between 3,000 and 4,000 yuan, so girls don’t think it’s too high when they ask about the price of Botox now, because it’s actually adjusted by the manufacturer~

1. Packaging

Although the American Botox injection is imported botulinum toxin, you must make sure that the package of the one you get has Chinese characters. Therefore, in the hospital, the packaging of the regular Botox injection is in both Chinese and English. This is the most easily counterfeited comparison. Let's look at other differences between the real and fake American Botox.

2. Approval number

Pay attention to the approval number on the side of the genuine American Botox box: S20120067. Legal imported drugs must be approved by CFDA and the packaging must have this. You can use this set of subtitles and numbers to check the approval of the product at the State Food and Drug Administration. If it does not have this, it is illegal counterfeit American Botox.

3. Specifications

Currently, there are only two types of Botox injections in the United States: 100 units and 50 units. If you see Botox injections in other specifications (such as 150 units, 200 units, etc.), they are definitely fake.

4. Bottle

The bottle of American Botox is the most important part to distinguish the authenticity of the product. The authentic American Botox bottle is short and fat, and the bottle cap is double-layered, one transparent and one purple. The fake American Botox bottle is slender, without the purple or transparent bottle cap.

5. Bottle cap

The original packaging of the genuine American Botox face-lift injection is not like an injection, but a bottle. The American Botox bottle consists of a transparent protective cover and a purple cover, with the words "ALLERGAN" and "100u" on the top. The production batch number is reflected on the side of the purple cover.

6. Laser marking

On the label of American Botox, there is a laser logo of "ALLERGAN", which will emit colorful light when moved under the light. Fake Botox generally does not have this logo. Some fake American Botox may have the laser logo of "ALLERGAN", but the words are not neat. After getting the bottle of Botox, you must look carefully.

7. Product shape

The shape of the American Botox product is a thin layer of white powder, which is attached to the bottom of the bottle (even when it is placed flat, there is still a layer of white powder). This process cannot produce fake Botox. The fake American Botox face-slimming injection bottle contains powder or liquid. So if you can't remember the previous ones, just read this one. It is absolutely simple, crude and effective.

Tips: Although BOTOX has been used in the medical beauty industry for decades abroad and is recognized by beauty lovers, BOTOX is not an ordinary cosmetic, but a medicine. Therefore, when choosing BOTOX treatment, in addition to identifying the brand, you must choose a doctor with rich injection experience and a regular medical beauty institution. Only when all parties are guaranteed can you achieve the best beauty effect and avoid causing harm to the body.

The main ingredient of BOTOX is highly purified botulinum toxin type A, which is a nerve conduction blocker used to treat overactive muscles. Botox is a natural, purified protein that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, making the skin smoother, younger, and more youthful. Dynamic wrinkles can be eliminated by precisely injecting a very small dose of botox into specific facial muscles. The principle is to block the nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, paralyze overdeveloped muscles, and achieve the effect of face slimming. Its function is to partially atrophy the masseter muscle, but it does not affect the basic physiological function of the masseter muscle. Botox injection is a very simple and safe treatment method. A small amount of Botox is very precisely injected into several parts of the face using an extremely fine injection needle. The entire treatment takes about 15 minutes, and normal activities can be continued after the treatment. On the second day after the injection, Botox gradually takes effect, and by the seventh day, the youthful appearance can be restored. The general effect can last for 3-6 months. BOTOX is widely used to eliminate frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead wrinkles, crow's feet or laugh lines around the eyes, raise eyebrows to make eyes look bigger, neck lines and other wrinkles.

The first injection of Botox wrinkle-removing effect lasts for a shorter period of time, generally 6-12 months, and you can inject it about once or twice a year. Clinical studies have shown that the duration of Botox wrinkle-removing effects will increase over time.
