If you’re starting to notice fine lines and wrinkles when you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows, you may be frustrated that they make you look older or grouchy. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to simply “live with” those lines. Nearly one million people every year take advantage of the benefits offered by BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®, nonsurgical treatments designed to soften dynamic wrinkles and give your face a smoother, more youthful appearance.

At Capital Center® MedSpa, we offer BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® to our patients looking for a quick, convenient, and highly effective way to refresh their look without downtime.

What Are BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are popular nonsurgical injectable treatments used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, primarily on your forehead and around your eyes. The active ingredient in these injectables is botulinum toxin type A, a purified neurotoxin derived from a naturally occurring bacterium.

The word “toxin” might sound intimidating; however, it’s a time-tested treatment that is FDA approved, carefully controlled, and completely safe when administered in the tiny doses utilized for cosmetic purposes.

These neurotoxin treatments help reduce the appearance of existing dynamic wrinkles (the lines that develop over time due to repetitive facial movements like smiling, frowning, and squinting) and can even slow the development of new ones.

What Are the Differences Between BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are very similar, but the slight variations are what may make one treatment a better fit for you than another. 

BOTOX® Cosmetic

Formulation: Called onabotulinumtoxinA, which means it has the active ingredient of botulinum toxin type A and additional proteins. 

Onset of Action: Results typically appear within three to five days and will take up to two weeks for full effect.

Duration: The effects last approximately three to four months.

Dysport®

Composition: Called abobotulinumtoxinA, which means it has botulinum toxin type A and some additional proteins, but fewer than those in BOTOX® Cosmetic.

Onset of Action: Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, results appear within three to five days and will take up to two weeks for full effect.

Duration: Effects can last around three to four months, though individual results may vary.

XEOMIN®

Composition: Called incobotulinumtoxinA, it’s considered “naked” as it contains botulinum toxin type A with no additional proteins. Because of this, it may be a better option for people with skin sensitivities.

Onset of Action: Because it has no additives, results may be seen as early as three to five days post-treatment. It can take up to two weeks for full effect.

Duration: The effects typically last about three to four months, but the duration can vary among individuals.
