Neurotoxins...which is better? Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin? And what's the difference?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin contain an active ingredient that's injected to smooth away wrinkles and revitalize skin over time. They are all also safe and reliable. Botox claims to last longer. Dysport is said to have a faster onset and a larger area of diffusion. Xeomin is a double filtered neurotoxin and is considered the purest injectable neuromodulator on the market. Xeomin provides a “naked” advantage. Other than the active ingredient, there are no additional complex proteins that can result in product tolerance and resistance to further treatments. But, research comparing Botox and Xeomin suggests that “there were no differences between the two therapies in terms of onset of action, duration and waning of effect”.
Neuromodulator selection frequently comes down to patient and provider preference. And based on your individual results, Shot Bar may recommend alternating between products.
