What is a prescription botox cream?

Not available yet: There are some versions of Botox that can be applied topically rather than by injection, but these are not yet fda-cleared. It will still need to be done in a medical office setting, not home use.

No effective cream: Although there are many neuropeptide creams that claim to be as effective as botulinum toxin, in my opinion, they do not work and are a waste of your money.

Non FDA approved: Currently there are no fda approved botulinum toxin creams. This is probably a bad idea because the potential for abuse is huge!

Rx Botox Cream: There is currently no fda approved botox-like/ dysport-like cream available for prescription use. No creams being sold today has fda approval nor can they legally claim to work like botox, Dysport or xeomin (incobotulinumtoxin a). There is a promising botulinum toxin based cream in the investigational stages working its way through fda evaluation. Stay tuned!

Botox cream: There currently no fda approved topical creams that have effects similar to Botox or dysport. Companies are actively researching products that both work and are safe. Stay tuned!
