Is Xeomin the least likely neuromodulator to cause a reaction?

Asked By:OhYouKnow in Los Angeles, CA, USA

I'm interested in a filler/neuro inj. combo for facial rejuvenation. In 2014, a 100 unit IM inj. of Botox IM for a muscle spasm caused a "panic attack" like reaction 1 hr post procedure which lasted several hrs. An immunologist suggested maybe it was an an anaphylactic reaction. A dermatologist recommended Xeomin as an alternative to based on its formulation. With that and the much smaller dosage used cosmetically, am I a candidate for Xeomin (instead of a similar product)?
