What are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are FDA-approved treatments designed to address moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines in adults. These treatments work beneath the skin surface, targeting the underlying muscle activity responsible for facial lines. As pioneers in this field, these brands have earned global recognition and trust for their predictable and subtle results. Treatments are quick, requiring minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately. Results can start to appear within 24 to 48 hours post-treatment and may last up to 4 months.
How Do Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin Work?
Various factors contribute to the formation of facial lines, including cellular changes, reduced collagen production, and damage caused by free radicals. However, one of the major culprits is repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or eyebrow-raising, which cause the skin to furrow and fold over time.
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin aim to combat these age-related skin changes by temporarily reducing this underlying muscle activity. Whether it's the contraction of forehead muscles when raising eyebrows, the muscles around the eyes when squinting or smiling, or the muscles between the brows when frowning or concentrating, these treatments can help alleviate the associated facial lines temporarily.
What Does a Wrinkle Relaxing Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe the sensation of receiving Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin injections as akin to a slight pinch at each treatment area. The remarkable result of a visibly smoother complexion, reduced frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines can be noticed within 24 to 48 hours post-treatment depending on the neuromodulator used for your treatment. The full result can be appreciated in 14 to 30 days, enduring for up to 4 to 6 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
Remember, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are not permanent treatments. If you discontinue the treatment, the facial lines will gradually reappear over time. Consistent treatments can help maintain your rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

What is the Difference Between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved neuromodulators used to relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines when they contract. While they all contain the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, there are subtle differences in their formulation, onset of action, spread, and duration of effect.
Botox
Botox, the most well-known brand, is typically used for treating frown lines between the eyebrows, crow's feet, and forehead lines. It tends to have a more localized effect, meaning it stays near the injection site. This makes Botox a good choice for target-specific areas that require precise control, such as the "11s" between the eyebrows. Botox typically starts working within a few days of injection and lasts approximately 3-4 months.
Dysport
Dysport has a slightly quicker onset (2-5 days), and its effects tend to spread a bit more, making it a good option for larger treatment areas, such as the forehead. It can also be used in other areas, such as the lines between the eyebrows or crow's feet. Some studies suggest that Dysport may last a bit longer than Botox, though this can vary from patient to patient.
Xeomin
Xeomin is often referred to as a "naked injectable," meaning it does not contain any additives. This may decrease a patient's likelihood of developing a resistance to it, as there are fewer ingredients that could trigger a response from the immune system. Xeomin typically takes effect within a week, and the results last from three to six months.
Choosing between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin often comes down to a patient's individual needs and the physician's preference and experience. Your healthcare provider will discuss these options with you and help you determine which treatment will provide the best results based on your unique concerns and goals.
What Are the Treatment Areas for Botox, Dysport and Xeomin?
1. Frown Lines: These are the lines between your eyebrows, also known as "11" lines or glabellar lines.
2. Forehead Lines: These are the horizontal lines that form when you raise your eyebrows.
3. Crow’s Feet: These are the lines at the outer corners of your eyes that appear when you smile or squint.
4. Bunny Lines: These are the wrinkles that appear on the sides of your nose when you scrunch up your nose.
5. Lip Lines: They can be used to smooth vertical lines around the lips, often called "smoker's lines."
6. Marionette Lines: These lines run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin and can be softened with these treatments.
7. Chin Dimpling: These treatments can help to smooth out an "orange peel" or dimpled appearance in the chin.
8. Platysmal Bands: These are the vertical bands that can appear on the neck with age.
These treatments are typically NOT used in the following areas
1. Nasolabial Folds: These are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth, also known as "smile lines" or "laugh lines." These lines are usually better addressed with dermal fillers.
2. Cheeks: While Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin can be used to slim the face when injected into the masseter muscles (for those with a square jawline), they're generally not used to address volume loss or sagging in the cheeks. Dermal fillers or other treatments are more appropriate for these concerns.
3. Under-Eye Area: These treatments are not typically used for under-eye bags or hollows. Dermal fillers or other treatments are typically recommended for these concerns.
4. Nose: These treatments are not typically used for reshaping or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty or non-surgical nose job procedures using dermal fillers are usually more appropriate.
Remember, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to understand the best options for your specific needs and goals.
Who is a Good Candidate for Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments?
A good candidate for Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments is typically someone who:
1. Is in Good Health: These treatments are generally safe, but it's always best if the patient is in good overall health. Certain neurological or muscular conditions may prevent you from being a suitable candidate, so it's important to discuss your medical history with your provider.
2. Has Moderate to Severe Wrinkles: These treatments are particularly effective on dynamic wrinkles, or wrinkles that form as a result of repeated facial expressions. If you have mild wrinkles, neuromodulators can also be used as a preventative to slow the formation of more severe wrinkles.
3. Has Realistic Expectations: While these treatments can create a smoother, more youthful appearance, they won't completely change the way you look or erase every single line on your face. Understanding what these treatments can realistically achieve is crucial to being satisfied with the results.
4. Is Not Pregnant or Breastfeeding: These treatments have not been tested for safety in pregnant or breastfeeding women, so it's typically recommended to wait until you've finished nursing before undergoing these treatments.
5. Doesn't Have a Skin Infection: If you have a skin infection or other skin issue in the area that would be treated, it's best to wait until it's resolved before undergoing these treatments.
6. Isn't Allergic to any Ingredients: Before receiving treatment, you'll be asked about any known allergies to ensure your safety. If you're allergic to any of the ingredients in Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, these treatments aren't suitable for you.
