When will the toxin start acting? Will it? Visiting Europe. Just had Bocouture (Xeomin) injected 4 days ago. Product didn´t feel like Vistabel when injected and it seems to take longer than my usual Botox to work. Had used Vistabel 3 times before and my experience was that by day 4 my forehead was done with the overactive expressions. On my 4th day post Bocouture now and my forehead has a life of its own. What can I expect? What can I do besides waiting? thnx

Botox and Xeomin Injections - Options for treatment of facial wrinkles
Xeomin should take effect within 5 days of treatment. This has been my experience in my Los Angeles plastic surgery practice. Xeomin results are long lasting and there is a high level of safety for the treatment of facial wrinkles.

Xeomin and Botox start to work within 1-4 days
Patients typically start to notice an effect from Xeomin or Botox within 1-4 days. Sometimes, it can take as long as a week. Usually, I invite my patients to come back at 2 weeks so that we can do touchups, if necessary.

Xeomin or Botox for wrinkle treatment
Xeomin and its product for cosmetic use Bocouture made in Germany by a company called Mertz. Compared to Botox and its cosmetic preparation Vistabel, it contains less stabilising proteins. Hence it is considered to cause less allergies. It is also temperature insensitive before reconstitution. Otherwise all comparative studies of these preparations showed them to be equally effective.

Xeomin and Botox are fairly similar
Xeomin, similarily to Botox, works in about 4 to 7 days for most patients. I typically recommend patients wait a week to determine how effective their dose was. If the dose was inadequate, additional botulinum toxin may be necessary. Although there are guidelines for botulinum toxin dosing, dosing and location must be individualized to each patient's anatomy for optimal results.

Xeomin behaves very much like BOTOX.
Again it is important to know how much product you were injected with. Small does do very little. If you were given an inadequate dose of Xeomin, you will not see much of an effect. It is important to go to a well qualified injector.
