Evolus: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Evolus medical aesthetics company focused on providing physicians and their patients with expanded choices in aesthetic procedures and treatments. They focus on the self-pay aesthetic market and their first product candidate, PrabotulinumtoxinA (DWP-450), is an injectable 900 kDa botulinum toxin type A complex designed to address the needs of the large and growing facial aesthetics market. They believe they will offer physicians and patients a compelling value proposition with DWP-450. Currently, onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) is the neurotoxin market leader and the only known approved 900 kDa botulinum toxin type A complex in the United States. They believe aesthetic physicians generally prefer the performance characteristics of the complete 900 kDa neurotoxin complex and are accustomed to injecting this formulation. We have completed the clinical development program for DWP-450 for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines ("frown lines") between the eyebrows in the US, EU, and Canada. The FDA issued a PDUFA date of May 15, 2018, for completion of its review of our BLA. We submitted an MAA to the EMA and a decision is expected by the second half of 2018. They have also submitted an NDS in Canada. They have an exclusive distribution license to DWP-450 from Daewoong Pharmaceuticals Co.

About FundedIQ's Evolus Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Evolus is left off this page rather than filled in.
