Botox for USA
Botox is supplied differently in each country. I am only familiar with how it is supplied in the USA. Specifically, I’m familiar with how I receive it in my Botox Practice in Modesto, California, USA.
I receive Botox as either a 50U or 100U vial. It is sold by Allergan (who also supplies Juvederm), but can also be purchased by several other medical distributors such as McKesson or Moore Medical.
From my experience, the 50U Botox vial costs more than half of the Botox 100U vial. That makes some sense because of excess packaging costs and requirements.
It is shipped in Styrofoam containers on dry ice, and usually I receive it the next day after I’ve ordered the product. And I order directly from Allergan, USA.
Botox Powder
The Botox arrives as dry powder vacuum sealed within the vial. The Botox powder is very fine and it almost looks like a completely empty vial except for some fine Botox dust lining the bottom of the vial.
Once obtained in the office, we immediately place it in our specially designated Botox refridgerator which is temperature monitored.

Please consult your own physician about any of the topics above. Here’s a listing of about 40 places to get Botox in Modesto. The general public cannot purchase Botox for any of the suppliers mentioned above.
