What are the differences amongst neurotoxins: Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport?
Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport all work by relaxing targeted muscles at the injection site, thus reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. At the molecular level, they all share the same active core ingredient, Clostridium Botullinum. However, neurotoxin molecules not only consist of an active ingredient but they also contain inactive proteins. The difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin lies in the composition of these inactive proteins. Manufacturers made subtle proprietary changes to the inactive portion of the molecule to make it their own. Variations can result in differences in how quickly the product takes effect and how it spreads within the muscles.

Xeomin is known as the “purest” form of neurotoxin. It is filtered to remove unnecessary proteins, which may prevent resistance to neurotoxin over time.

Manufactured by Galderma, FDA approved in 2009
Onset 2-3 days
Duration 3-4 months
Contains smaller accessory proteins, increasing the spread from injection sites and allowing for quicker onset. Dysport’s smaller molecules make it less potent than other neurotoxins requiring more units, however Dysport’s price per unit is less than other neurotoxins.
