When it comes to smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, Botox® and Xeomin® are two popular injectable options. While they work similarly, subtle differences can make one a better fit for your unique needs. Let’s dive into what sets these neuromodulators apart and how to choose the right one for you.
How Do Botox and Xeomin Work?
Both Botox and Xeomin are FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin. They temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
Key Differences Between Botox and Xeomin
- Formulation:
- Botox contains accessory proteins, while Xeomin is a “naked” version of botulinum toxin, containing no additional proteins.
- Onset Time:
- Botox may show results slightly faster (3–5 days) compared to Xeomin (5–7 days).
- Longevity:
- Both last about 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism and the treated area.
- Suitability:
- Xeomin may be a better option for patients who’ve developed resistance to Botox due to its pure formulation.
Which Is Right for You?
- Choose Botox If:
- You want the most well-known brand with decades of proven results.
- Choose Xeomin If:
- You prefer a cleaner formulation or have experienced diminished effects with Botox.
