XEOMIN, BOTOX, and JUVÉDERM are popular cosmetic injectables used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It’s important to understand the differences between these treatments before deciding on the best option for you.
Board-certified acute care nurse practitioner Beverly Farris explains what makes XEOMIN unique and how it compares to other wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. Contact AestheticFX Med Spa today to schedule your initial consultation and explore our wide range of anti-aging treatments available in Frisco, TX.
What are wrinkle relaxers?
Wrinkles form due to repeated muscle contractions when making facial expressions such as smiling or frowning. Common examples include crow’s feet and frown lines between the brows. Wrinkle relaxers are injectables that temporarily relax these facial muscles, smoothing the skin above and significantly reducing the visibility of lines and creases on the forehead and around the eyes.
How are XEOMIN and BOTOX different?
XEOMIN and BOTOX are both wrinkle relaxers derived from botulinum toxin Type A. They typically begin to take effect quickly, with results lasting approximately three to four months.
However, they differ in formulation: XEOMIN contains only the active ingredient without additives, making it a highly purified option less likely to cause allergic reactions. BOTOX includes additional components.
Another distinction is that XEOMIN does not require refrigeration before use, while BOTOX must be refrigerated to maintain potency. This feature can make XEOMIN a more convenient choice for patients seeking anti-aging treatment in Frisco, TX.
How is XEOMIN different from JUVÉDERM?
Unlike wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM work by adding volume beneath the skin to smooth deep wrinkles and fill hollow areas in the mid-face. Made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin, fillers restore fullness rather than relaxing muscles.
JUVÉDERM comes in various formulations tailored for specific uses, such as enhancing cheek volume or plumping lips.
While both XEOMIN and JUVÉDERM provide noticeable improvements with minimal downtime, fillers generally last longer. JUVÉDERM results can last a year or more, whereas XEOMIN treatments typically require repetition every 3 to 4 months.
Which product should I choose?
Choosing between XEOMIN, BOTOX, and JUVÉDERM depends on your individual goals. For smoothing fine lines around the eyes and forehead, wrinkle relaxers like XEOMIN are ideal. For restoring volume to cheeks or lips, dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM are better suited.
