When deciding between Xeomin vs Botox, it’s important to remember the two treatments are more similar than they are different, and one isn’t necessarily better than the other.
That said, Xeomin does have a few unique benefits that might make it the better option for you. The key difference is that Xeomin is double-filtered, so it’s free from the complexing proteins you’ll normally find in Botox.
With Botox, those proteins can sometimes lead the body to produce antibodies. Over time and with repeated injections, this can cause resistance to Botox. With Xeomin, on the other hand, this risk doesn’t exist.
That said, Botox has been around for several decades longer than Xeomin, and its safety and efficacy are very well-established compared to the newer Xeomin. The risk of resistance to Botox from cosmetic injections is considered quite low.
If you plan on getting anti-wrinkle injections for the long term, this means Xeomin might be the better option. Additionally, if you’ve been getting Botox or Dysport for years and you’re finding that the results are not as noticeable as they used to be, it might be time to switch.
