Hello Interloper!
Menu
You might know botulinum toxins by the popular brand name Botox®, but there are actually several brands licensed for cosmetic use in the UK. Some of the other brands include Azzalure®, Bocouture®, Alluzience®, Letybo®, and Nuceiva®. You may come across Dysport® or Xeomin®, but these are licensed for medical purposes, not cosmetic treatments.
If you’re ever offered a product outside of this list, it may not be licensed for cosmetic use, and you should ask your practitioner for clarification.
Botulinum toxins are prescription-only treatments, meaning that they can only be accessed with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
