BOTOX®, Xeomin® &
Dysport® Injections
What’s the Difference?
BOTOX®, Xeomin® &Dysport®, are each
slightly different preparations of Botulinum Toxin A, which is a class of
medication called a “neurotoxin” and is derived from a protein that works to relax targeted muscles. Each
preparation is slightly different in that they may differ in the protein
structure or size of the molecules in the medication. BOTOX® was the first and is
the oldest neurotoxin on the market
having been approved by the FDA in 1989. Dysport®
was approved in 2009 and Xeomin® in
2010, however both have been around in Europe for a long time. The dosage
varies between the drugs. All three have very similar safety profiles and
effectiveness. My experience is that each works very effectively when used to
reduce wrinkles and shape your brow position.
