Prabotulinumtoxin A
In 2002, Botox (onabotulinumtoxin A) was the first botulinum toxin to gain FDA approval for the “temporary treatment of glabellar lines in adults.” A recent study published in Dermatologic Surgery reviewed two Phase 2 randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo controlled trials with 2100 patients showed that a new version called prabotulinumtoxin A had a similar onset of action, duration of action, and adverse event profile as compared to Botox. On the market currently, we have Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin for the treatment of lines and wrinkles. We may see another agent available soon.
