What is Botox?
Botox is the brand name of the toxin Clostridium Botulinum. You probably have heard about Botox because it was the first injectable botulinum toxin on the market to treat wrinkles.
What is Xeomin?
XEOMIN is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe upper facial lines including, frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Xeomin works exactly like Botox by blocking the signals from your nerves to the muscles, smoothing out your wrinkles

Xeomin vs. Botox
What's the difference?
The most significant difference between Botox and Xeomin is the fillers added to these substances. As mentioned above, Xeomin does not have any added fillers, unlike Botox.
Many doctors sometimes refer to Xeomin as “naked Botox” because of its purity. There is only one main ingredient in Xeomin, botulinum toxin. This purified form of the neurotoxin removes any accessory proteins from the active ingredient because there is no need for those added proteins. They do not help or hinder the effectiveness of the drug.
Desensitization rate
Another main difference between Xeomin and Botox is desensitization. Years of receiving Botox injections can lead to desensitization because of the added proteins in the substance. Xeomin does not contain any of these proteins. This means that desensitization does not happen with it, unlike Botox.
Benefits of Botox
Botox works by blocking signals from your nerves to the muscles. The muscles injected with this substance cannot contract, making your wrinkles relax and soften. Most people opt for Botox to help with their forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
Other benefits to botox include:
-
It can help your overactive bladder
-
Can contain cervical dystonia
-
Helps with chronic migraines
Benefits of Xeomin
One of the most significant benefits of Xeomin is the fact that there are no added fillers, unlike Botox.
Because there are no added fillers, you are less likely to have an allergic reaction to Xeomin. With Xeomin injections, you can expect a short treatment time, faster recovery time, and noticeable results almost immediately.
What areas can be treated?
Results
How long before you see results?
It can take about a week before you see the full results of your treatment. Your results should last about two to three months before you need to go back to follow-up injections.
After Care
After your procedure, you will want to make sure not to touch your face. It is recommended to keep your hands off your face for at least three hours after your injections.
You will want to avoid lying down or participating in any vigorous activities for about four or six hours. This ensures that the product stays in place and does not go where it should not.
