Nabota
Nabota is a botulinum toxin type A injectable — essentially a “Botox-type” treatment used to relax muscles and reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, as well as to treat certain medical conditions involving muscle overactivity.
🧴 What Is Nabota?
Active ingredient: Botulinum toxin type A, the same class of neuromodulator used in Botox® products.
Manufacturer: Developed by Daewoong Pharmaceutical in South Korea and widely used internationally.
It’s known by other brand names in some countries — for example Jeuveau® in the U.S. and Nuceiva® in Canada/EU.
How It Works
Nabota works by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, causing them to relax.
When these muscles don’t contract as much, the overlying skin appears smoother, reducing the look of lines and wrinkles.
✨ Common Uses
Cosmetic
✔ Reducing glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
✔ Smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet
✔ Helping with brow lifting or facial contouring (e.g., masseter slimming)
Medical
• Treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Managing muscle spasms like blepharospasm
• Conditions involving localized muscle overactivity
⏱ Onset and Duration
Onset: Some effects may begin in ~2–3 days post-injection, with full results in about 1–2 weeks.
Duration: Results typically last ~3–4 months, similar to other botulinum toxin products.
🧠 How It Compares to Other Toxins
Similar to Botox: Nabota is another form of botulinum toxin type A, like Botox, with comparable effectiveness and uses.
Alternate brand: Jeuveau (U.S.), Nuceiva (Canada/EU).
Some clinical and cosmetic practices note a fast onset and precise action with Nabota, though individual results vary.
⚠️ Safety & Considerations
Should only be injected by a qualified medical professional.
Temporary side effects can include bruising, swelling, headache, or mild muscle weakness near the injection site.
Rare serious symptoms (e.g., difficulty swallowing or breathing) require immediate medical care.
Not suitable for those with certain neuromuscular disorders or during pregnancy unless advised by a doctor.
