What are the Differences Between Juvederm^® XC (Ultra 2, 3, 4) and Juvederm^®?
The new Juvederm^® XC formulation has lidocaine integrated and provides U.S patients with the same comfort that has been enjoyed by Canadians and Europeans for years. RxPad has been successfully distributing this improved product over the last two years, anxiously awaiting the official FDA-Approval.  The new Juvederm^® XC will provide U.S patients with their desired results and an improved level of comfort during the application process^‡. The days of U.S patients having to painfully endure and dread their next Juvederm^® application are finally over!

Juvederm^® XC is hyaluronic acid gel which is eased into a patient’s skin by a healthcare professional. It helps restore the volume of a patient’s skin and will help alleviate facial wrinkles. Specifically, Juvederm^® XC helps provide a smoother, more youthful look to a patient’s nasolabial folds and smile-lines*. Plus, according to Allergan, Juvederm^® XC is the only hyaluronic acid to last up to 1 year^†. A typical Juvederm^® XC application takes less than 20 minutes. The changes are evident immediately and the experience of a Juvederm^® injection is finally enjoyable with the official Juvederm^® XC U.S introduction!

What is the Difference Between Juvederm^® XC and Juvederm^® Ultra 2, 3, and 4?
The only difference is the cosmetic appearance of the packaging. Allergan Inc. is a multinational manufacturer and packages their products according to the country of distribution. Juvederm^® Ultra 2, 3, 4, are the marketing names for UK distribution, just as Juvederm^® Ultra XC and Juvederm^® Ultra Plus XC are the marketing names in the United States. Rest assured, the product you order from RxPad will always be the same product that you buy in the United States. The active ingredient found in the Juvederm^® is FDA-approved and RxPad guarantees Allergan product authenticity and client satisfaction.

What are the Savings Offered by RxPad?
RxPad offers clients a 35% saving per syringe kit compared to the U.S manufacturer. Juvederm Ultra XC (Ultra 2) is priced as low as $239.00 per syringe kit (2 x 0.55mL) and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC (Ultra 3) is priced as low as $249.00 per syringe kit (2 x 0.55mL). The 35% saving includes the differential between the syringe kit sizes (0.55mL versus 0.8mL)!

Clinical Study: Juvederm Ultra versus Juvederm Ultra XC (Ultra 2)
**In a clinical study comparing JUVÉDERM® Ultra with and without lidocaine, 36 subjects received the product with lidocaine in 1 nasolabial fold and the product without lidocaine in the other. Subjects rated the level of pain during each injection. Pain was significantly less on the side that received JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, and in comparing the 2 injections, 34 subjects (94%) found the lidocaine formulation to be less painful.**

“Your Trusted Allergan Botox^® and Juvederm^® Source With An International Reach”

Buying authentic Allergan Botox online makes a lot of sense due to the convenience and cost savings. Whether you are a medical professional or a consumer with a legitimate prescription, you can expect to save over 25% per 100IU vial when you buy authentic Allergan Botox online.

Counterfeit Botox Concerns: Buying Authentic Botox on the Internet

Unfortunately, recent stories of counterfeit Botox, and false claims by Allergan U.S. sales representatives that Botox is manufactured in the US, are deterring individuals from buying Botox on the Internet.

It’s important to realize that not all companies offering Botox online are selling counterfeit Botox! Reputable companies such as RxPad are proud to only offer the real thing – authentic Allergan BOTOX®, manufactured in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland.

Yes, all authentic Allergan Botox is currently manufactured in this small Irish county. In turn, whether you buy from Allergan US or from Allergan UK, it does not matter – you always receive the same product, manufactured in Ireland.

How to Make Sure the Botox you Purchased is Authentic

Allergan UK has a number of measures in place to ensure the integrity and authenticity of BOTOX®.

1. Vials of BOTOX® have a holographic film on the vial label that contains the name “Allergan” within horizontal lines of rainbow color. In order to see the hologram, rotate the vial back and forth between your fingers under a desk lamp or a fluorescent light source. All BOTOX® sold by RxPad contains this hologram, proving its authenticity.

2. In addition, BOTOX® purchased from RxPad includes lot numbers which can be confirmed as authentic with Allergan by contacting the company directly:

ALLERGAN UK
Allergan Limited
Marlow International
The Parkway
MARLOW Buckinghamshire
SL7 1YL
UK
Phone: +44(0)1628 494444
Fax: +44(0)1628 494449

Buying Botox Online as a Consumer: Prescriptions Required

Of course, if you’re a consumer and you buy Botox online, a reputable company will always ask you to provide a prescription. If a company is willing to sell Botox directly to a consumer without asking them to fax over a prescription, you should stay away from that company.

It’s also important to remember that Botox should only be administered by a trained and licensed physician in a medical setting. Forget about “Botox parties” – get references from people you trust and go to an experienced physician who knows what they’re doing. Optimal results are only achieved when BOTOX is administered by a well-trained physician with extensive knowledge of the product and the area of injection, and who has the qualifications necessary to evaluate and determine the best treatment for each individual.

The FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations investigated. As it turns out, about 30 doctors had injected an unapproved, cheaper substitute toxin for FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic into nearly 1,000 unknowing patients.

These doctors ended up with their licenses revoked, paying restitution and fines, and serving jail time.

Think it can’t happen to you? Of course it can. Companies and websites are still out there, offering doctors cheap alternatives to FDA-approved Botox and dermal fillers such as Restylane and Perlane.

When you buy Botox, always make sure you are buying the real thing. You know how the saying goes – if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you buy Botox at prices that are significantly lower than the market price for the FDA-approved drug, you risk buying fake Botox that could injure your patients and land you in jail.

According to the FDA, Under federal law, no form of botulinum toxin may be commercially distributed for use on humans unless it has been approved by the FDA. At this time, Botox Cosmetic, made by Allergan is the only type of botulinum toxin approved by the FDA to temporarily soften the frown lines between the eyebrows.

Similarly to Botox, there are companies who offer doctors fake dermal fillers, including Restylane and Perlane. Those companies are marketing their products with slightly different names than the original, FDA-approved fillers. Don’t be one of those who don’t notice the “misspellings” and only see the price difference. These products are fake, and could be extremely dangerous for your patients. Those same companies often offer to sell deep chemical peel kits directly to consumers (!), which should be a HUGE warning flag for anyone browsing those websites.

Protect your patients. Protect yourself. When you buy Botox and dermal fillers, make sure you buy the real, FDA-approved drugs. Never allow yourself to fall for a scam or become tempted by extremely low prices. Remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Botox is injected into the facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles – those formed over time by repeatedly frowning, raising the eyebrows, smiling, or squinting. Some doctors also use Botox to treat wrinkle around the mouth. The injections work by temporarily paralyzing these muscles.

Botox is not effective against other types of wrinkles, including wrinkles caused by heredity, smoking, sun exposure, and the effects of gravity. Other methods, including injecting dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, may work better to treat some of these conditions.

Off-label use of Botox is possible – and legal – because FDA-approved drugs can be used by licensed doctors off-label according to their best judgment. That includes using those drugs for indications other than the ones that led to FDA approval.

However, when yhttp://blog.rxpad.biz/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=27ou buy Botox for cosmetic off-label use, it’s important to use it responsively. When you administer Botox to treat a wrinkled forehead, crow’s-feet, the mouth area, and bands in the neck, your patient is exposed to higher doses of Botox than those in the studies that led to the FDA approval. Make sure you are conservative with your doses, and ask your patient to focus on the areas that bother her the most instead of tackling everything in one session.

Of course, when you buy Botox for any cosmetic use, you should also remind your patients that just like any medical procedure, Botox is not without risk, although complications are almost always mild and temporary.

Many doctors believe that it’s just a matter of time until the FDA approves Botox for some of the most successful off-label uses such as smoothing forehead lines. Until then, when you buy Botox for off-label uses, use your best judgment and remember that with conservative, correct use of Botox, you can make a real, positive difference in your patient’s self confidence and save them the high cost and risks of surgery.

1. Botox Off-Label Uses: Treating Migraines

The FDA has approved Botox for treating eye muscle disorders, neck muscle disorders, excessive sweating and eyebrow furrows. But Allergan, the drug’s maker, owns or has applied for patents on more than 90 uses for the drug.

One of these off-label uses is treating migraines. Anyone who suffers from migraines knows how debilitating this condition can be. Patients who suffer from chronic migraines often try everything – and I mean EVERYTHING, including acupuncture, yoga, diet changes and numerous medications – to relieve the pain. For many of them, Botox seems to be the only thing that works.

Anecdotal reports about the headache relief effect of Botox started surfacing in 2000. Patients who’d had Botox injections to smooth facial lines discovered that their headaches disappeared as well.

Scientists are unsure how exactly Botox works to treat headaches, but one theory says it desensitizes nerves that detect pain. Doctors are injecting Botox around migraine sufferers’ temples, the back of their head, their neck and upper shoulders. Many patients report that a set of Botox injections every 3-4 months eases migraine pain enough to enable them to function normally.

Since those first reports in 2000, several clinical studies have suggested that the muscle paralyzing effects of Botox may help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, although there are other studies suggesting that Botox is not significantly better at preventing migraines than a placebo.

Even so, it’s generally agreed that Botox may indeed provide migraine relief for a small number of patients, even if not for the majority of them. For many migraine sufferers, quality of life is so low, it makes sense to at least give Botox a try, and so for you as a healthcare professional it makes sense to buy Botox and offer it as an option to your patients.

1. Botox Off-Label Uses: Anti Aging

Planning to buy Botox for treating your patients? Remember that the FDA has approved Botox to treat four issues: eye muscle disorders, neck muscle disorders, excessive sweating and eyebrow furrows. But there are many therapeutic and cosmetic off-label uses for Botox, including treating migraines, vocal cord problems, crows feet, and even breast sagging. Whether you buy Botox for an approved use or for an off-label use is up to you and your skills.

As explained above, one of the FDA-approved uses of Botox is for treating excessive perspiration. Suffering from excessive sweating can be a big problem in terms of social interaction and self-confidence. Treating these patients is one of those instances where you really feel you’ve made a difference in a patient’s life and dramatically improved their quality of life.

Botox is considered as a safe, effective treatment for excessive sweating, for patients as young as 18 years old. Just like its cosmetic uses, it replaces in many cases the need for surgery, which is inherently riskier.

Hyperhidrosis, or profuse sweating, usually occurs in the hands, feet, armpits, trunk and face. We’re not just talking about sweating more than normal. We’re talking about patients who drench shirts and need to change them several times each day, people whose feet slide in their shoes when they walk, and teens who refuse to date or get involved in after-school activities because they are embarrassed by their excessive sweating.

When you buy Botox to treat these patients, you make a huge difference in their lives. Botox treats hyperhidrosis by inhibiting some of the nerves in the hand, foot or armpit that stimulate the sweat glands.

Since Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved, some insurance companies are willing to cover the treatment, so when you buy Botox for this purpose, be sure to tell your patients to check with their insurance company to see if the treatment is covered.
