Allergan Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the original botulinum toxin type A — FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and now in its third decade as the global gold standard. Manufactured by AbbVie in the USA, it remains the most-studied botulinum toxin with hundreds of millions of treatments in clinical and aesthetic medicine. The mechanism, onset, and duration are the reference against which every other brand is compared. At VERZO CLINIC Bangkok, Allergan Botox is ฿17,999 per 100-unit vial — substantially below the equivalent vial in Singapore, Hong Kong, or Japan.
Pricing is per 100-unit vial. Actual per-area cost depends on the unit count: forehead 8-16U, glabella 15-25U, crow's feet 8-16U per side, masseter (jaw slimming) 20-50U per side. The doctor calculates total units after assessing facial muscle anatomy during the free consultation. Per-area cost typically ranges ฿9,000-16,000.
Allergan Botox has the broadest set of FDA-approved cosmetic indications of any botulinum toxin brand. The same unit ratio applies for substitution with Xeomin (1:1); Dysport uses a different ratio (2.5-3:1).
Allergan Botox at VERZO Bangkok is ฿17,999 per 100U vs Singapore (SGD 600-900 per 50U ≈ ฿16,000-23,000 per 50U, or ฿32,000-47,000 per 100U), Hong Kong (HKD 4,000-6,500 per 50U ≈ ฿18,000-30,000 per 50U, or ฿36,000-60,000 per 100U), Japan (¥55,000-110,000 per 50U ≈ ฿12,000-25,000 per 50U). The 100U vial at VERZO is roughly half of Singapore pricing for the same AbbVie product. Same AbbVie vial, same Thai FDA-registered importer chain. Patients who specifically want the original branded product — perhaps for the strongest reimbursement claim documentation or to switch from a Korean alternative — choose Allergan at VERZO over the equivalent vial in Singapore for the price differential.
Every Allergan Botox injection at VERZO is performed by a Thai Medical Council-licensed aesthetic doctor with formal Allergan Medical Institute training. Vials arrive in unbroken AbbVie packaging; the patient may inspect the lot, expiry, and Thai FDA registration before reconstitution. Reconstitution happens in front of the patient. Allergan Botox requires refrigerated cold-chain storage — VERZO follows the AbbVie protocol from delivery through injection.
At VERZO CLINIC Bangkok, Allergan Botox is ฿17,999 per 100-unit vial — roughly ฿9,000-16,000 per treated area depending on the unit count. This is approximately half of Singapore pricing (SGD 600-900 per 50U) and Hong Kong (HKD 4,000-6,500 per 50U) for the same AbbVie product.
Mechanism is identical; both are botulinum toxin type A blocking acetylcholine. Allergan Botox (AbbVie, USA, ฿17,999/100U at VERZO) is the original — most clinical evidence, longest track record (FDA-approved 2002 for cosmetic use). Xeomin (Merz, Germany, ฿14,999/100U) is purified to remove complexing proteins, room-temperature stable, and has lower antibody-resistance risk for long-term repeat treatment. First-timers and patients who want the original branded product choose Allergan; long-term users typically choose Xeomin.
Both are botulinum toxin type A but they use different unit conventions. Allergan Botox uses smaller, more concentrated units; Dysport uses larger units with broader diffusion. The conversion ratio is roughly 1U Allergan to 2.5-3U Dysport. Dysport tends to spread more in tissue, which can be useful for forehead treatments but requires precision in eye-area work. Allergan has the longer track record; Dysport is preferred by some doctors for specific cases like large-area sweating.
Onset is 3-7 days; peak effect at 14 days. Duration is 3-6 months for facial wrinkles and 4-9 months for masseter (jaw slimming). VERZO schedules a free day-14 follow-up to top up any asymmetry at no charge. Maintenance is typically every 3-4 months for forehead/glabella and every 6-9 months for jaw slimming.
Yes. Allergan Botox is registered with the Thai FDA (อย.) and supplied through the authorised AbbVie distributor. Each vial arrives in unbroken AbbVie packaging; the patient may inspect the lot, expiry, and Thai FDA number before reconstitution. Reconstitution happens in front of the patient. AbbVie maintains a strict cold-chain protocol that the clinic follows from delivery through injection.
Yes — same-day treatment is standard once the doctor has assessed your facial muscles and confirmed no contraindications. Consultation, treatment, and after-photo typically take 30-45 minutes total. There is no flight restriction post-treatment. Many international patients combine Allergan Botox with masseter Botox or a dermal filler in a single half-day visit via BTS Ekkamai.

"Allergan Botox is the reference standard. When a patient asks me which brand has the most evidence behind it, the answer is unambiguous: this one, 20+ years of FDA approval and hundreds of millions of treatments. For first-time patients, it's the easiest brand to recommend because the result is the most predictable." — Dr. Waleerat Thaweebanchongsin, VERZO CLINIC
