Xeomin vs Botox and dysport?

Thank you for sharing your good question. These products are all effective, but from my experience, Xeomin does not seem to last as long as the other two. It is probably more important to choose a very experienced doctor than selecting which product to use. Good luck.

Hi, Emily. Thanks for your question. All Botulinium Type A toxins are not necessarily the same since they are protein molecules with varying sizes and purity.  Having said that, the expert injector and practitioner can adjust the dosing and technique to give you an excellent result with any of these products.  Placement of product is just as important as the amount of product, but patients do report feeling as if certain ones ‘work better’ than others. Much of this is related to the body’s response to a particular product, the concentration of material used vs the specific injection technique and placement. For example if the product is placed literally an 1/8 of an inch from its intended target, you can go from a fantastic result with brow elevation, to a terrible result with brow or lid droop.  Therefore please make sure you pick the health care provider who has extensive experience in facial anatomy and make sure you have seen their actual patient results.

Unit for unit, xeomin is equal to botox. It is mixed the same and administered the same. THE most important factor in determining you result is WHO places the medication. Assuming the toxin is mixed correctly, who puts it in is more important than the toxin itself (in my opinion). I would suggest that you only go to a practitioner who administers this medication on a daily basis. I would steer clear of non-cosmetic practitioners (ie family docs who provide this service).
