Xeomin vs. Botox: What’s the Difference and Which is Right for You?
Learn the key differences between Xeomin and Botox, and discover which treatment is best for your aesthetic goals at The Southern NP.
When it comes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, both Xeomin and Botox are popular injectable treatments. While they share similarities, there are some key differences between the two. At The Southern NP, we offer both treatments and can help you determine which one is best for your specific needs. Let’s explore the differences between Xeomin and Botox and how to choose the right one for you.
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox, but without any of the added proteins. This makes Xeomin a more “pure” version of the neurotoxin, which some patients find beneficial.
What is Botox?
Botox is a well-known brand of botulinum toxin that has been used for decades to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and various medical conditions. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating expression lines.
Key Differences Between Xeomin and Botox:
- Purity: Xeomin contains no additives, while Botox includes accessory proteins.
- Onset of Results: Botox may show results slightly faster, though Xeomin offers more natural-looking outcomes for some patients.
- Resistance: Some patients may develop resistance to Botox over time due to the proteins, while Xeomin's purified formula may reduce this risk.
Both Xeomin and Botox are effective treatments for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Contact The Southern NP today to schedule a consultation and determine which option is best for you.
