What are the Differences Between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?
Botox
Botox is the original protein used. FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002, it has a long track record and has become a household name. Botox is excellent for treating all areas of the face, especially smaller ones. In addition to aesthetic uses, Botox in Santa Monica is also commonly used to treat excessive sweating, teeth grinding, migraines, and muscle spasms. Botox results are typically visible within 10-14 days following treatment, and last approximately 3-6 months.
Dysport
Dysport works very similarly to Botox but has different proteins attached to the active molecules. It is a thinner formula which spreads more easily and therefore achieves results more quickly. Dysport is also particularly good for creases in the forehead. Results are visible within 2-3 days and can last 4-6 months.
Xeomin
Xeomin is the most eco-friendly neuromodulator product. It doesn’t require refrigeration, which eliminates the Styrofoam waste. It also has the least amount of extraneous proteins attached. Because of this, there’s less of a chance of building up a tolerance to it. Xeomin is a good option for those who haven’t found Botox or Dysport to be effective because of the purified state of BoNT-A. Results are noticeable within about 10 days and can last up to six months.
