FAQ

  • What is Botox and Xeomin?
    Botox and Xeomin are both neurotoxins that work by temporarily relaxing muscles. They are both FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines). The main difference between Botox and Xeomin is that Botox contains accessory proteins, while Xeomin does not. Some experts believe that the accessory proteins in Botox may increase the risk of developing antibodies to the treatment, which can make it less effective over time. Xeomin is also thought to be more purified than Botox, which may reduce the risk of side effects.
