Xeomin is toxic. And it doesn't work well. You couldn't pay me to use it. Why do doctors push something so toxic on the public?

Question

Elham Jafari, MD · Answer

Hi and thanks for posting your question here! Xeomin is an
FDA-approved medication that belongs to the same family as Botox and Dysport,
as they all share similar active ingredient - Botulinum Toxin Type A. However the
way it has been purified and processed is different from other medications in
the same family and actually it has less collateral proteins which might offer
some benefits. It generally works as good as Botox in the head to head studies.
Lots of people at my practice like it and get it on routine basis. What
really matters is the technique and experience of the injector.
I hope this helps and good luck!

Xeomin is a version of botulinum toxin A, very similar to Botox. Many of my patients who do not achieve optimal results with Botox pursue treatment with Xeomin or Dysport, both which are FDA approved and safe when in the hands of an experienced physician. I have never had any bad experiences with Xeomin. Please seek an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Xeomin is an FDA approved neuromodulator that has been used on thousands if not millions of patients. It has been shown to be effective and useful for its intended purposes.
I recommend getting treatments at an office similar to mine where a physician/surgeon-injector administers your injections. Our anatomical knowledge is a huge benefit to maximizing your results.

I am sorry you have had a bad experience with Xeomin.  There are three FDA approved neuromodulaters in the US; Botox, Dysport and Xeomin.  In extensive FDA trials, all three have been found to be safe (especially in cosmetic doses) and effective.  Make sure that you are always going to a physician who specializes in aesthetic medicine for any of your injections.

Gail Nield, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Xeomin is an effective neuromodulator, approved by the FDA  in the USA and HPB in Canada. It is used world wide and has the same safety profile as Botox and Dysport. Feel free to discuss these products with your dermatologist, but treatments are elective cosmetic procedures.
