Botox vs Dysport: Dysport is a neuromodulator, like Botox, that’s derived from the botulinum toxin and works by temporarily inhibiting muscle causing wrinkles. The one important distinction between Botox and Dysport is they are dosed differently. It requires three units of Dysport to equal the muscle relaxing strength of one unit of Botox. Also, Dysport is diluted differently than Botox. This doesn’t mean that Dysport is less effective than Botox; it just means that a high quantity of Dysport might be needed to achieve the same level of results.
Botox vs. Xeomin: The main difference between Xeomin and Botox has to do with formulation. Xeomin is a “pure” neurotoxin. That is, Xeomin contains only a single ingredient (botulinum toxin A), while the formulation of Botox includes various proteins clustered around the active molecule. The benefits of Xeomin’s pure form means users have a lower chance of developing the antibodies that lead to a resistance that can limit its effects.
Also, while the results of both treatments last for the amount of time (3-6 months), Xeomin requires up to 4 days for results to take full effect, while Botox typically only requires about 72 hours.
