Quick answer

What is Allergan Botox?

Allergan Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the original Botox® brand, made in the USA and now part of AbbVie. It is a purified botulinum toxin type A and the most extensively studied toxin worldwide, with decades of cosmetic and medical use.

In Korea, many clinics use well-regarded Korean toxins, but some visitors prefer the brand they know from home. At Umi Clinic you can choose the product, and the doctor will explain the differences, such as with Xeomin.
