I Have Always Used but Botox but Tried Xeomin Recently and Haven't Had Great Results. Am I Resistant?

You may need more units applied to the area to see full correction, seek a reputable physician who can provide you with the result you wish to achieve 

Hi Lili.  Botox and Xeomin are very similar products.  Both are Botulinum Toxin type A.  It would seem unusual to us that you would receive no benefit from Xeomin for the same dose of the two drugs.  What we have found is that 20 units of Xeomin may not last as long as Botox, but Botox, Dysport and Xeomin all do a very good job of relaxing muscles they are injected into.  Botox line is that there are patients and practitioners that prefer one or the other and if you are a person that really likes the results of Botox, then by all means, switch back.  Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question!  It sounds like you have a good relationship with your injector.  I would recommend speaking with them regarding your concerns.  With the different neurotoxins, you may also require a different dosage.  Once you reach your desired outcome, you should be pleased with your results.  However, if you prefer to return to Botox since you know that it was effective, there will not be a problem doing so.  Best of luck to you and I hope this information is helpful!

Both Xeomin and Botox contain botulinum toxin A , which is the main ingredient. So if Botox works for you so should Xeomin.

While the manufacturers of each product will tell you that it is not the case, in my experience, some patients occasionally do seem to respond better to one product over another. While there could be other factors involved, such as how long ago the particular product was reconstituted, the number of units that were used, or the specific injection technique, it still seems that some patients may respond better to one particular product. I tend to keep patients with a particular product unless they experience a problem or have a good reason to switch, but there is no harm in going back to a product that worked better in the past.All the best,
