It's hard for patients when you walk into a plastic surgeon's office or med spa to see an injector, and they're offering you Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau, Xeomin, Myobloc, on and on and on. There are a lot of neurotoxins out there now.
Botox was the OG, right? The first one. We refer to almost everything as Botox, except now it's called tox, I guess. A lot of injectors use that term. I still call it Botox. It's like asking for a Kleenex or a Coke, because it's the original.
However, at The Naderi Center, only the doctors do the injections, and we only carry the top three brands: Botox, Dysport and Daxxify. There are a lot of other ones, less expensive ones, but those are the three.
There are differences amongst them. There are different characteristics amongst them, but they're more similar than different. They're like Pepsi and Coke. They're much more similar than different, but there are differences. People can tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke. So ask me what's the difference.
