What Is the Difference Between Xeomin and Botox When It Comes to Eliminating Wrinkles?

Want the scoop on which anti-aging injection offers the best results when it comes to erasing the fine lines and wrinkles brought on by time?

Here’s the answer to your most pressing question, what is the difference between Xeomin and Botox.

The Main Difference Between Xeomin and Botox Is That Botox Has Accessory Proteins for Protection

The biggest difference between these two injections is that Xeomin does not contain any additives at all, as Botox has added accessory proteins. This means that Botox diffuses differently than Xeomin. It is better at staying in place where injected instead of diffusing further across the face.

Another difference is the two cosmetic injections is that Botox results only take up to 72 hours, while it can take up to four days to see the effects of Xeomin.  And finally (but unimportantly for users of injections) Xeomin needs no refrigeration before use, unlike Botox. This doesn’t affect you as a consumer, only the injection specialists who prepare them for use.

So, What Are the Similarities Between the Two?

Both made from botulinum type A, these two are FDA approved for use as cosmetic injections that diminish and smooth wrinkles.

Since they both are made from the neurotoxin, they work in a similar manner to paralyze the targeted facial muscles and force relaxation. The costs are pretty similar and results last about the same amount of time.

But How Do You Choose With One Is Right for You?

When wondering about what is the difference between Xeomin and Botox, it’s best to speak with a cosmetic injection specialist.
