Botox or Xeomin, What’s the Difference?

When it comes to addressing unwanted wrinkles and fine lines with Botox or Xeomin, what’s the difference?

These two popular injections have created quite a stir among the aesthetics community as powerhouses to help eliminate wrinkles.

Both products contain the same main ingredient, botulinum toxin type A which relaxes the muscles that cause visible wrinkles in your face.

What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference between Xeomin and Botox is that Botox contains accessory proteins while Xeomin contains only botulinum toxin with no additional proteins.

Because of this, Xeomin does not need to be stored in a refrigerator or freezer and Botox does.

Due to the simple nature of Xeomin, you can generally expect it to cost you less than Botox treatments would as well.

Do Accessory Proteins Really Matter?

Some studies have shown that over time people may build up a tolerance against Botox due to the accessory proteins.

That makes those patients ideal candidates for Xeomin.

What Conditions Do Botox and Xeomin Treat?

Xeomin is indicated to treat glabellar lines, excessive drooling, and abnormal muscle contractions in the limbs, eyes, or neck.

Botox is indicated to treat the glabellar lines, the abnormal muscle contractions in the neck, eyelid or limbs, or migraines.

Botox is also indicated to treat urinary incontinence from neurological disorders as well as excessive sweating.

However, both products are used off label for other conditions.

Which Product Is More Effective?

Both products are considered to be effective at eliminating wrinkles as intended.

However, in order to get the best results, it is crucial that you only seek the services of a board-certified injector with expert experience administering these toxins.
