There’s a new wrinkle fighter on the market that may give Botox a run for its money.
From Ipsen, a specialty pharmaceutical group based in France, comes Reloxin. Reloxin uses the same neurotoxin as Botox to fight wrinkles, but it’s believed that it works within about 2 days (as opposed to 3-5 for Botox) and lasts longer. Reloxin has already been available in Europe for quite a while now, being sold under the trade name Dysport. However, it’s still being reviewed by the FDA to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
With Botox being most likely the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure in North America, it will definitely take a hit when Reloxin becomes widely available.
