What are the different types of Botox?
I see you’re the type that likes to get into the nitty gritty.
For the most part, the type of product you have administered won’t make a huge difference. They all have a similar effectiveness and lasting effect.
But there are a few subtle differences that are worth knowing about.
Still interested? Who am I to stop you…
