Neuromodulators
Xeomin is a prescription medicine that can be injected into glands that make saliva, and it is useful in treating long-lasting drooling in adults. It is effective at reducing wrinkles in areas such as the eyebrows, the forehead, and around the eyes.
Xeomin contains only a single ingredient rather than a formulation (the single ingredient is botulinum toxin A), including various protective proteins that are clustered around the active molecule. Further, Xeomin has been found to work faster and last longer than other similar injections such as Botox.
DYSPORT functions as BOTOX does; however, it uses slightly different molecules to block transmission at the neuromuscular junction. DYSPORT temporarily prevents contraction of the muscles responsible for frown lines and crow’s feet by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle. Untreated muscles continue to function normally, allowing you to express yourself naturally and confidently.
What are the DYSPORT treatment areas?
DYSPORT treats major dynamic lines such as the brow, frown line, and Crow’s feet. DYSPORT also treats other facial areas such as the masseter and chin muscles. DYSPORT can also reduce excessive underarms, hands, and feet sweating.
The longevity is determined by the number of DYSPORT units used to treat facial lines and wrinkles.
Botox is an injection given using a thin needle to inject a tiny amount of botulinum toxin into the skin or muscles. It can block some chemical signals from nerves (mainly the signals that cause the muscles to contract). Commonly, these injections are used temporarily to relax the facial muscles that can cause wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes.
What are the non-FDA-approved BOTOX Cosmetics?
BOTOX Cosmetics can be used for other facial areas such as the chin, masseter muscle and jawline, neck bands, hands, feet, and underarms.
It typically lasts 3 to 4 months
How Do Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport Work?
Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are all neuromodulators derived from the botulinum toxin. These treatments work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, leading to a reduction in muscle activity and the smoothing of wrinkles. By targeting specific areas, these injectables can soften the appearance of crow's feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles.

Differences between Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport
- Formulation: Botox and Dysport contain additional proteins, while Xeomin is a purified form of the botulinum toxin without any accessory proteins. This distinction can lead to subtle differences in efficacy and potential allergic reactions.
- Onset of Action: Dysport is known to have a faster onset of action compared to Botox and Xeomin. Patients may notice the effects of Dysport within two to five days, while Botox and Xeomin may take around four to seven days for results to become noticeable.
- Dosage Conversion: The dosage required for each treatment varies. It is important to consult with a skilled healthcare provider who has experience with these injectables to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs.
- Diffusion Range: Dysport tends to have a wider diffusion range compared to Botox and Xeomin. This means that Dysport may be better suited for treating larger areas, while Botox and Xeomin might be preferred for more targeted treatments.
