Myth: Topical Botox is replacing injectable Botox?

This is not true… yet. Topical application of botulinum toxin A is still in the clinical trial phase. Early indications are that it may work in small areas around the eyes (crows feet) and that it may help make injectable Botox last longer. However it is difficult to say it will ever replace Botox, as it does not have the same ability to deliver the toxin to specific muscles areas with pinpoint accuracy.
