Xeomin vs. Botox – Consumer Guide
⸻
What Are They?
Botox and Xeomin are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax targeted facial muscles to soften wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Both provide natural, refreshed results when injected by trained medical professionals.
⸻
Key Differences
Ingredients
• Botox® – botulinum toxin type A with accessory proteins.
• Xeomin® – botulinum toxin type A without accessory proteins (“naked” toxin).
What this means for you:
Xeomin’s purified formula may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time.
⸻
Onset of Results
• Botox: 3–5 days
• Xeomin: 3–7 days
Full results appear within 7–14 days for both.
⸻
How Long It Lasts
Both typically last 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism, dose, and treatment area.
⸻
The Look & Feel
• Botox: Traditional, well-known smoothing effect.
• Xeomin: Often described as feeling slightly more natural because of its purified formula.
Results from both can be very natural with proper technique.
⸻
Cost Differences
Xeomin is often more cost-effective due to lower wholesale pricing, while providing similar results. Many patients choose Xeomin for value and purity.
⸻
Which One Is Right for Me?
Choose Botox if:
• You’ve used it in the past with great results
• You prefer the longest-established brand
Choose Xeomin if:
• You want a cleaner, additive-free formula
• You feel Botox has become less effective over time
• You want a more affordable option with comparable results
Your provider will help tailor the best option for your facial anatomy and goals.
⸻
Treatment Expectations
• Quick in-office treatment (10–15 minutes)
• Minimal downtime
• Avoid rubbing the area for 24 hours
• Avoid lying flat for 4 hours after treatment
• No strenuous exercise for the rest of the day
⸻
Safety
Both treatments are FDA-approved and safe when performed by licensed, trained medical professionals. Common temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising.
