Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately there is no real way to know without trying Xeomin and gauging your results.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Xeomin is often described as one of the purest forms of botulinum type A (Botox has additive proteins), so you may benefit from its quicker onset. However, the only way to find out is to try it. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with extensive experience with injectables. Keep in mind that these treatments require precision in both dosing amount and needle placement to ensure an optimal outcome. In addition to injectables, you can explore microneedling, laser, and energy devices to address lines and wrinkles.

If Botox and Dysport is not an option for you, Xeomin is the next option. I suggest dermarolling at home to give the skin Botox-like effects with at-home treatment. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is possible that Xeomin may work if you have had resistance with Botox and Dysport, but you won't know until you try it.  Be sure that you see an experienced injector for your treatment.

These products are so very similar that it is improbable that you will be satisfied with the change to Xeomin. True resistance, especially to cosmetic dosages, is rare. More likely your issue is significant enough that cosmetic botulinum is simply to up to the task of helping your issues.
