What are BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin. They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Here’s how they compare:
- BOTOX® Cosmetic – The most well-known neuromodulator, effective for treating moderate to severe wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
- Dysport® – Spreads more easily than BOTOX®, making it a great option for treating larger areas like the forehead. Results may appear faster than BOTOX®.
- Xeomin® – A “naked” form of botulinum toxin without additional proteins, making it less likely to cause resistance over time. Works well for frown lines (11s) and other facial wrinkles.
Dr. Munasifi or Dr. Economides will help determine which product is best suited to your needs and goals.
